Something you can do is to go to patterns, then filter by amount of strings and colors you want. Make sure that you’re also using the flat alpha and straight edges techniques because they really improve the quality and neatness of your alphas. If you don’t know what I mean by that, here’s a video that explains how to do it https://youtu.be/_YVFAX9sacw

I also would recommend using a slightly thicker string for your base strings as it makes your bracelet sturdier. I use either Loops and Threads craft cord or Aunt Lydia’s crotchet thread fashion 3. A really important tip when making alphas is to always knot with the same thickness of thread and to have all of your base strings the same thickness. It improves the quality of your bracelet overall. Finally, make sure to push up after every row with a ruler, your nails, or some other straight edge to keep all the rows of your alpha even.

I some patterns you should try is #61893 and #64338.

Some videos you should watch is Marsha Knots flat alpha on YouTube.
