if you're going to make this pattern, cut your blue thread WAY longer than red or blue. probably like 20cm? more. I'm not exactly sure. to be safe do 30cm? good luck out there everyone 🫡
@madie_2 My reply is probably too late, but for future reference, I think the easiest way is to just go with slanted ends and cut all the strings individually, with one braided/twisted tie on each end. Video tutorials on #31230 by @Crafty_K and #15341 by @innovate
You have to be more creative with a center loop or teardrop loop. For the single string(s) you can't fold in half, just use the single string by itself, place it along with the other double-length strings, then wrap them all like normal inside the loop. There will be a "tail" sticking out the other side.... gently pull the longer end through (so it's on the proper side) and the tail end disappears inside the loop. Be careful with the first rows of knots so you don't accidentally pull the loose string all the way out. Once the single string is used to make a knot, it's anchored and won't come out later 😊
@LJBracelet I saw your comment on here & I actually just mentioned something about this on a similar pattern of my own, so I thought I'd share... 😉 The wavy/curvy shaped effect is something that tends to happen naturally with many "zigzag /back & forth" type patterns, simply due to the knotting structure. It can't be helped! 🤪 The degree of the effect will vary depending on how tightly you tend to tie your knots, especially along the "concave" parts of the edges. Some people find it frustrating, but I actually really like it! 😄 😍 😎
Hi! I made a 14-string version of this where the blue section is bigger and there are 6 “stars.” The mods say I need your permission to get it approved. Are you okay with me submitting that pattern? I’ll of course link to your bracelet in the comments for it. Thanks! 😊
