@cthulhuwiz you have to knot the white string on all the strings if you get what i mean? So all the strings are in the knot and none are just hanging there
@Denver I also just remembered that you can insert chains between the diamonds of any shaped diamond pattern and if the pattern isn't shaped in the first place, you can easily adjust most patterns to be shaped.
In general you can just take more strings that you knot around to make it thicker. More strings also give the option to make flowers in different colours. But for that you wouldn't really need an extra pattern.
@cthulhuwiz you hide the unused white strings in the green knots. So instead of just making the green knots around the yellow strings, you make them around the white and yellow strings at once.
There are plenty of videos and even one tutorial explaining how to do it, so I recommend checking out one of those.
