If you do the single start, like in @natalienat’s photo, but start instead at the bottom of the pattern, row #169, it actually sets up the strings to perfectly start on row 1. That’s what I did, I’ll post mine when I’m done! I’m making a bookmark so length doesn’t matter as much.
@shikisoku thank your for your kind words 🙂glad my experiment was of help to someone 😄 😄 and yours looks really nice too, I like the palette of colours you used, very harmonious 😍
@servetej Thank you for this comment, it was super useful! I love the detail about your experiment, and the photo of the four of them together is 😍 😍 😍
So I made four and I experimented a bit with how much you need of every string. I made mine with triangle starts and ends in yellow. I could use 2M for almost all the strings, except three. For the original design, I used 3M for white, 2,60M for the grey string in the middle, and 2,40M for the purple string in the middle. But that was just enough, I knot a bit tight, if you knot relatively loose, I'd recommend using 10CM more for everything except for the yellow. My left over yellow strings were always quite long.
I'm so in love with this pattern ❤️❤️❤️ , I've made 3 already, and am making a fourth one (I want to gift them to family), and I've experimented with a couple of designs. Different colour combinations make different cool things. I'll post a picture later when they're all done, they look so beautiful. I use the one I'm keeping for myself as a bookmark, not a bracelet, it makes reading a fun thing.
@jennypenny The length of the bracelet can vary depending on which yarn you use and how tightly you tie. For me, the whole pattern with 180 rows was about 18 cm long, and I knit quite tightly. I think the center of the pattern is on row 85, so if you start on row 1, the bracelet will be completely symmetrical with 170 (85+85) rows. If 170 rows are too long, it should be possible to start later in the pattern, for example on row 5, then the bracelet can be symmetrical with 160 rows. 🙂
If you continue the bracelet past row 180 to finish the pattern, will it be too long to tie as a bracelet? My wrists are pretty small but I love the idea of having it symmetrical. It’s so pretty!
