What should my very first alpha bracelet be? (It would be nice if there is a video or a tutorial on how to make it)

38672, 40359, 45306, are beginner patterns I recommend. Also watch Masha knots FLAT alpha tutorial on YouTube. She has two tutorials but watch the latest one . Hope this helps!

All of these are really good beginner alpha's #38175, #39798, #1654, #39459,#41007, #1260, #43123, #43473, #17894, #17621, #17464, #17063, #17062, #17378, #17064, any alpha can be beginner, but I would do one that is on the smaller side, less than 12 strings, and that isn't more than maybe 5 colors

making a name bracelet or just a tiny keychain should be good

You can watch Masha knots’ flat alpha video. She makes a pattern which is pretty beginner friendly!

I don't know if this counts as an alpha, but this uses the same concepts. #8046 is a great one to start with, because Masha Knots and most likely other people/platforms have others too. Even though Masha Knots video is in Russian, I have heard it is very easy to follow. (The video is below the pattern.)

I really hope this helps and if you need any other suggestions, or help please feel free to message me. (If you respond via this post please put my username in it so I am able to see it and respond faster!)

i think any thin alpha would be good, probably with only 2-3 colors. look up a tutorial, like ones by masha knots on alphas. make sure to make your knots tight and consistent so there are no gaps and the bracelet looks uniform. best of luck! 🎠💌🎡

#40027 was my first alpha! Really any patterns with 2 colors are good. Masha Knots has a great alpha tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YVFAX9sacw&t=552s

Im not sure if someone has already said that but you can try the 'vertical wave'
I don't know if there is a pattern of it here but masha knots on youtube has a tutorial of it 😊

I would suggest doing a 2 colored one, that way you don’t have to add on any new strings which can be confusing, your main string is the first color and the second color in the pattern is the base string, which when you need to use you just knit with it on the lead string - a good 2 color alpha to start with is name ones
