@account482 I highly recommend you watch the tutorial I followed to get an idea of how to make the bracelet, and then you can adapt it however you want! You can do as many strings/colours as you want. To make it 12 strings instead of 14, you would simply have to do only 5 main colours instead of the 6 pictured. (You would remove one string for the colour and one string for its corresponding base string; it'll make sense if you watch the video. You can't do it by following the pattern as pictured or using those exact strings.)
I'll do an English-language tutorial within a couple weeks, but in the meantime, here's the Spanish one I followed (you can turn on subtitles in other languages): "Pulsera Arcos 🏹 Como hacer pulsera de hilo | diy tutorial paso a paso ● macrame bracelet 319" on YouTube by Tutoriales Temuco · Macrame. (You can't put links in comments unfortunately so search the video name.)
BEAUTIFUL pattern! I'd love to do it! If anyone has any idea how to maybe make it 12 strings or less that'd be awesome! I'm gonna attempt this one soon!
@daling@lilybooLDS The one I followed was this, but it's in Spanish (you can turn on subtitles in other languages): "Pulsera Arcos 🏹 Como hacer pulsera de hilo | diy tutorial paso a paso ● macrame bracelet 319" on YouTube by Tutoriales Temuco · Macrame. (You can't put links in comments unfortunately so search the video name.)
I plan to do a tutorial in English covering all the variations that I did. I can let you know when that's published if you like, but it will appear on this page as well.
