So basically my alpha patturns separate from eachother

iD0NTKN0W Advanced	4 years ago by iD0NTKN0W It depends on what patturn I use but I’ve found that if I use the same color in too many rows of the bracelet the colors separate from eachother and NOONE else seems to have this problems because I can’t find it anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?
allialexis Bracelet King	4 years ago by allialexis Wdym? Like let’s say u were doing knots on the 4 left string of ur alpha with just pink and the rest were just white. Is that what u mean by them separating?
iD0NTKN0W Advanced	4 years ago by iD0NTKN0W @allialexis Yeah so like if the pattern has like 5 or 6 strings that are same in one row like if one column was white then blue then white for the rest. And vise versa, eventually i get like 6 blue strings in a row and they don’t connect back to the white strings.
halokiwi Moderator	4 years ago by halokiwi I recommend using the flat alpha technique. It helps keep the bracelet connected and gives a smoother appearance.
baublesbyb Bracelet King	4 years ago by baublesbyb I hope I understand correctly... Do you use the flat edges method to switch colors? That can help keep it together as it weaves the colors together. Otherwise, maybe working on tension may help?

allialexis Bracelet King	4 years ago by allialexis Yea so like how they both said, use the flat alpha technique. I have this problem as well because I don’t use the flat alpha technique, but it’ll make ur bracelets look cleaner and solve this problem 😄
bsoftball Bracelet King	4 years ago by bsoftball Use the flat alpha technique because it pulls the strings together.
gabrielled Professional	4 years ago by gabrielled I know exactly what you are talking about, and I use the flat alpha technique. It helps me to make sure that there is at least one knot on each side using the background string (not added colours), this kinda pulls everything back together. Lol hopefully that makes sense. ❤️
iD0NTKN0W Advanced	4 years ago by iD0NTKN0W @gabrielled I will look into that as I’ve never heard of it before, thank you for the advice everyone else its been really helpful!!
