@OOB this is an alpha pattern. It has 16 base strings which always remain vertical, never make knots with them- only ONTO them. Additional colors are added separately, making only forward knots straight across then backward knots straight across on the following row, according to how the pattern shows.
You can watch a video tutorial called How to Make Alphas located toward the top of the page between the pattern preview and the knot structure diagram. ( If you're on the BB app you can find a similar video on #19454 near the bottom of the page by @Racoon)
Hi! Can anybody share how does this weaving should be done? I can’t understand how to get white white thread in, what is the base, how black thread moves? I want to make a present but do not understand the mechanics with this picture (((( basic staff I can do
@maisignal instead of moving the leading strings around the base strings, you can also move the base strings around the leading strings. You then just need to pull the knot tight in the correct way.
You can also work with shorter pieces of leading strings and then just do a colour switch to the same colour once you run out.
