@clou if you don't now how to make a chain bracelet I recommend you watching a video or a tutorial of any chain bracelet!! there are a lot of tutorials and videos even on bracelet book!! hope this works even if you posted these 7 month ago 😄
Hi @wiland , I'm quite the beginner, so could you explain how the different-than-green-colored strings disappear when doing the little loop? do I have to knot all the strings within, and if so how do I separate which one go right and which left? Thank you 😊
@wiland thank you, I’ll go look at that tutorial in the meantime. I just haven’t learned how to read shaped patterns very well yet. I am managing to get acorns but idk if they’re right but I’m forging on! 👍
@LauraLou64 I'll try to do a quick tutorial on it in the next couple days, since I'm not entirely sure my comments make any sense at all! 😂 It's hard to describe without any pictures to point to.
@LauraLou64 So there's a tutorial for a pumpkin version on pattern #106484. I had just made that pattern, so it really helped me with this one. I actually tied the last knot of color C across both the other strand of C AND the right strand of the knot you are referencing. That's the same as on line 4 as well (just in reverse). I tied the first knot of color C (on line 4) across the other strand of C and the right most strand of B before tying the first knot of B (the middle knot on line 4).
@LauraLou64 looking at the photos, I think there are probably three strings hidden per chain, so three strings of colour b to the left and one string of colour b to the right.
@wiland thanks for the info! 🎉 I'm wondering where to split the B color after line 10.? Also, if anyone knows of a tutorial on how to be able to Read this type of pattern please let me know. 👍
@sophcharrr That's a good question. I actually have never done anything except segment knotting, so I don't really know how to answer that. I tend to choose my knotting pattern based on how it pulls the other knots. Sometimes knotting in a certain way can cause the pattern to distort a bit. In the case of this pattern, I knotted the first knot in the C color (on line 4), then I knotted the second knot in the C color on line 5. After that I knotted the first B color on line 1 and continued knotting with that string until I did the bf knot on line 7. Then I did the fb knot on line 5 that tied both halves together. I kept going with that string until I did the left-most b knot on line 8. From there it's fairly straightforward... Knot with color C until you can't anymore, then knot with color B until you can't anymore, then back to C, then back to B. I'm sure there's several different ways to do this, that's just what worked best for me. For the stem, you can either do the twists like @sodapop, or I actually made a little knot in my string instead (I couldn't get my twists to cooperate). I also added a couple extra chain knots in between the acorns to account for my tendency to pull those really tight.
@4741119 I pretty much use DMC for everything. I like the texture, sheen, and color selection. I think the only threads I have that aren't DMC are some sparkly ones, which I believe are Artiste.
