If you're just starting out with making normal patterns, I 100% recommend starting out with making symmetrical patterns, with a smaller amount of strings and colors that contrast- it makes the whole process a lot easier and gets you used to normal pattern making! I have a ton of normal patterns I've made but I've never gotten around to posting them 😂 I hope this helps!

To make your strings match up, just repeat your pattern. For example, if your patterns looks likef,f,f,b,b,b f,f,f,b,b,b,b Copy and paste the pattern until the strings match up. For example, f,f,f,b,b,b f,f,f,b,b,b,b f,f,f,b,b,b f,f,f,b,b,b,b |

I would also suggest using a visual pattern generator to make designing your patterns easier.

Here are 2 tutorials I made on Normal patterns:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HolYORv9P8E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_2uZ1RQ5Jc I recommend starting with a 12 string pattern when learning to make a Normal pattern because there are enough strings that you can actually see a design, but not too many strings that make it hard for beginners. You can make the pattern easier by using less colors. I always start with a basic/simple base pattern like: #26192 #2146 #1516 #18 #1673 I then add things like diamonds/zigzag/lines/dots/squares, and play around with the different elements by adding/taking away things. I look at patterns that already exist and see how these elements are made. I recommend saving your base pattern as a couple patterns, so if you don’t like how your pattern looks, you don’t lose all your work, you can just go to your other patterns and start again. Make sure to pay attention to the top of the screen where there are warnings. I usually don’t worry if it saying the top strings don’t match the bottom strings until I’m done with my pattern. The easiest way to make the strings match is to copy the pattern’s code and paste it under itself, save and preview. If the strings still don’t match, just repeat this step again, and so on. I also recommend making some of these basic patterns that you want to use for your patterns, because it really helps you learn and visualize how the knot structure works, and making designing easier. |

A visual pattern generator is a generator where you can physically see and control the knots you’re moving. I know they’re working on one for braceletbook, but as of right now, they’re not sure when it will be finished.
