@riafelice there are two ways to make this pattern. one way is to leave the loose strings as they are. this will give you diamonds with loose strings to the side. the other way is to do the shaped bracelet technique, which is what i did when i made this pattern, the basic process is triangle start, diamond, triangle end. this way, it will give you diamonds without the loose string giving you a shaped look. masha knots has a youtube tutorial on shaped bracelets. hope that helped!
