Hi everyone,

I’m still fairly new to bracelet‑making, and one thing I kept running into was the lack of information about string lengths. The only source I found on the topic is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Gghx9XCI8. Even then, I still had to count every single knot manually for each pattern if I didn’t want to be wasteful, and that got old pretty fast. So I ended up building my own program, based on that formula, and I wanted to share it with you.

It’s a small open‑source tool that helps calculate string counts, color usage, and other details automatically. Currently it only supports normal bracelets, but I can expand it and incorporate your ideas too.

If you’re curious or think it might help you, you can find it here: https://github.com/Rektangulo/BraceletCalculator

I’d love any feedback or ideas for improvements. If this isn’t the correct thread, please let me know. Thanks for taking a look, and happy knotting ❤️
