Hello! Just to reiterate, these are some common problems that beginners have, and how to fix them! I've divided them into sections to make it easier for you. I hope these will help you!

~~~~~~~~~KNOT MAKING~~~~~~~~~
Problem: My bracelets have holes! Help!
Solution: Practice your knot tension. The first half of your knot says it all, when you have the string your tying onto, if you don't make the first half you your knot tight, the second one will flop. Tie the first one tight and you should do better. Try and make all of the knots the same tension.

~~~~~~~~LOOPS~~~~~~~~
Problem: My loop is messy! Help!
Solution: When you make the backward forward knots on the loop, tie the first half (backward knot) tight, and when you pull the second half (forward knot) make sure you pull a bit to the left to align them.

Problem: Twisting the loop! Help!
Solution: Tape the loop close to where your knotting, if you don't, it may possibly twist into a Chinese staircase.

~~~~~~~~TRIANGLE ENDS~~~~~~~
Problem: My ends are loose and messy! The back has string poking out! Help!
Solution: Yep! Another common one, be sure to push the knot up before you make the next one, it should fix the string being loose. If you have string sticking out after you finish the ends, you are pulling WAY TO TIGHT! Try loosening up the knots.

~~~~~~~~~~~~OTHER~~~~~~~~~~
Masha knots has a lot of good tutorials on youtube, try those out for sure.

4 knots you should know are the larks head knot, backward knots, forward knots, backward forward knots, forward backward knots.

~~~~~~~~SUMMARY~~~~~~~~~
This is not a lot of info but I hope this helps you! Good luck on your bracelet journey! Happy knotting!
