I'm making pattern #17319 and my wrist is just 6 inches long, how long should I cut the strings?

i usually do arms length but your wrist seems a little smaller, so maybe a little shorter?

Hmmm, this pattern only has 7 strings, so 30 to 31 inches per strings should do (double that if you're folding your strings in half)

I usually cut my strings about 3 feet. You could cut them shorter since your wrist is smaller. Also, you could always use leftover string on another project

about from ur fingertips of one arm to ur shoulder of the other arm is a good rule of thumb. it's nice because it helps it be proportionate to each creator's wrist/body!

I usually cut my string from the center of my chest to my finger tip. It may be too long but its better than having string that is too short

For a normal pattern, I would usually measure the strings to be a "wingspan and-a-half," doubled over. That seems to always be the perfect length, and I rarely run out of string. Hope this helps! 😄
