does anyone have a good formula for how many knots to do in each row of a teardrop or triangle start? i always feel like mine are either too “slow” and it takes a long time to get to the pattern or i spread out the strings too fast and my rows curl towards the top at the edges. and when i do one well, i have no idea how to replicate it in the future! i’m not sure if that makes sense but any advice is appreciated 🙂

The most common is to go
1, 3, 5, 7...
or
2, 4, 6, 8...
knots per row.

Is that what you mean?

Or do you mean how big to do the loop itself? For that I don't really have an answer. It comes down to preference. You got to figure out which proportion of knots vs strings works for you.
