I did it! Thank you for your help and all the tips (: the picture really helped clear everything up! After seeing what you meant visually, I immediately understood what you meant in the comment 😭
@riri1923 it's like how you would make a triangle start for a normal pattern but all the knots are made with the leading string. You shape it as you follow the pattern so only one side is shaped at a time
Sorry it's confusing, I'm not sure how else to explain it
@goldflower I can't seem to get the beginning of the bow right. i do the 5 knots and the edge doesn't stick out like yours. is there something im missing? 😭
I am also confused on what these instructions mean: remove 1 base string from the bundle. Forward-backward knot over 4 base strings held together then remove 1 from the bundle. Forward-backward over 3 strings, remove 1. F-B over 2 strings, remove 1. F-B over the last base string.
I'm trying to follow it like a shaped pattern, but the first 2 rows just look wonky and squished ):
Row 27- make the first knot over a bundle of 6 base strings. Set those aside to the left. Forward-backward knot over the remaining 5 base strings held together then remove 1 base string from the bundle. Forward-backward knot over 4 base strings held together then remove 1 from the bundle. Forward-backward over 3 strings, remove 1. F-B over 2 strings, remove 1. F-B over the last base string.
Row 28- make one backwards knot over each of the first 6 base strings. Backward-forward knot over the remaining 5 base strings held together. Remove 1 base string from the bundle. B-F over 4 strings, remove 1. B-F over 3 strings, remove 1. B-F over 2 strings, remove 1. B-F over the last string.
Row 40- F-B over the first base string, add the next base string to the first base string. F-B over 2 strings held together, add next base string to the bundle. F-B over 3 base strings. F-B over 4 base strings. F-B over 5 base strings. These knots tend to go diagonal but you can push them up and gently tug on each base string individually to put them in place. The rest of the row is normal, 1 knot on each of the next 6 base strings.
Row 41- B-F over first base string. B-F over 2 strings held together. B-F over 3 strings. B-F over 4 strings. B-F over 5 strings. Again push the knots up and gently tug on the base strings one at a time.
