So when ever im making alphas, when i do the color switch, it sort of hangs down and the row gets uneven. I use a ruler but it still wont work. Is there a way to get the rows lined up and when you do color switches it will be even?

I would suggest loosening up your knots a little because the reason you can’t push up the rows is most likely because your knots are too tight

It might be because your knots are at different levels of looseness but a good hack is to use a ruler to push your knots up to the rest of them. Hope this helps! 😊

You could try making your color switch knots tighter than the rest of your knots

I would recommend using a ruler to push your rows together.

Something else that may help is the flat alpha technique! MashaKnots has a great video on YouTube.

@abbey10 When I first tried it, I used just a simple 2 color pattern just so I wouldn’t get confused, and it seemed to work well! Here’s a few two-toned patterns that might be a great starting point: #4847#26396 #21041 |
