@naiyah for starting it I folded the base strings in half and pulled the ends through the loop it formed around the buckle, I think it's a kind of basic knot but I don't know what it's called. For finishing it off I pulled the ends through the buckle and just did a simple knot tying them to itself and glued the ends on to the back for extra stability. Sorry I hope that makes sense, it's hard to explain in words without pictures 😥
@Tip it’s a bit long to be a bracelet, but if you want to make it short enough unless you have a big wrist, do only two flies instead of 4! However, if you do full length, it’s perfect for an anklet 🙂 Love this pattern, might do it as a keychain!
