@sheildagnt I recommend using the flat alpha technique. You could also just make sure that the blue and white leading string loop around each other when they meet.
I just finished this one and I noticed that the blue and the white stripes are never attached so I just inverted the base strings (the last white and first blue) so the blue would still be in the bracelet. I know this probably doesn’t make sense bc english is my second language but you will understand if you do this bracelet/keychain idk! JCSHLATT WILL NEVER BE MY PRESIDENT!
