I typically like to design my normal patterns on a website other than braceletbook because visual generators are a lot easier to work with. If you want to know what website I’m talking about, you can message me, but it’s basically the other friendship bracelet pattern website. I would just say it’s name, but if I did, my comment would most likely get deleted because it’s not allowed to promote other websites on here (especially if they’re competing websites).

You can also use graph paper to draw your design before putting it in the generator. Here's a tutorial on that https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/34_designing-normal-patterns/

Here are my two tutorials for 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. |

When I make normal patters, I usually draw them out on graph paper first.
