Hi, is anyone able to help create a bracelet pattern based on the below tartan. Its my family tartan and the last of the oldest generation has just passed so want to make something in memory.

Thanks for help in advance

Pretty much all tartans can be created as a simple plaid pattern (one row of f knots, one row of b knots).

To make this tartan accurately as a simple plaid pattern, you'd need way more than the 64 strings that braceletbook supports. Each of the thinnest stripes in that plaid is already made up of 4 strings, so you can imagine how many strings that would be in total.

You would definitely need to simplify it.

I added a variation to #173025 that is part of it (but with less strings than that part has)
