I started making bracelets in quarantine and just can’t get the Aloha. I have tried so many times but it keeps coming apart. Or The pattern looks weird. I have watched so many tutorials but it just doesn’t work.

You might be able to solve the problem by just practicing, but it’s difficult to tell without seeing the bracelets. Could you take a photo of one them and temporarily set it as your profile photo?

What I would do is a couple of things : 1. Make sure you have a good start, so like a triangle end or something of that nature. 2. Make sure your knots aren’t too loose. 3. If you are doing color switches, I would try the flat alpha technique. ( mashaknots has a great video on YouTube) Alphas are definitely not a beginner bracelet, but if you feel you are capable, I would got to YouTube to learn! I recommend Mashaknots, because I feel they are the most comprehensive. Also make sure your bracelet is secured down tightly! I hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks I have used Marsha knots. I love her YouTube so I have done that. I tie my knots pretty hard so I think I just need to practice. Thanks for the tips though!
