How can I avoid holes in patterns with mostly fb and bf knots?

When I make a bracelet that has a lot of fb and bf knots, there’s always holes in the rows, it sort of looks like a pattern does with the gaps.
Is there any way I can fix this, or am I doomed to have gaps? 😂

Make the second knot really tight. It also goes away with time

trying knot the knots closely together and pull them a little tighter if you are new to fb-bf patterns. but keep the tension the same throughout!

try to tighten your knots and use a ruler to push them up

make sure your first knot stays tight as you loop the second one. sometimes it comes loose as you move the strings around, and if it stay tight it won’t make holes (:

@sadnymph and @sashell627 I tried the techniques you both recommended and my bracelets have improved a lot! The gaps are getting smaller, and the knots are closer together.

Thank you all for your help! ❤️

Tie the knots very tightly especially the first half of the knot
