@leoopard looks like it might be macrame square knots First row: (4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4) -> you make a square knot with each of the groups of 4 strings Second row: 2 (4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4) 2 -> you leave out two strings on each side and make square knots with each of the groups of 4 strings Third row: 4 (4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4) 4 Fourth row: 6 (4)(4)(4)(4)(4)(4) 6 Fifth row: 8 (4)(4)(4)(4)(4) 8 Sixth row: 10 (4)(4)(4)(4) 10 Seventh row: 12 (4)(4)(4) 12 Eighth row: 14 (4)(4) 14 Ninth row: 16 (4) 16
Hi! To make the badge, this is what I did: 1. I made only the circle part of the alpha, so I left out all of the background knots. 2. I folded all the base strings to the backside then glued on a small piece of fabric to cover the back. Then I trimmed the fabric to be the same size as the badge. 3. I did a "satin stitch" all the way around the edges to make them neat and smooth (kinda, I am still working on my embroidery)
