https://www.braceletbook.com/patterns/normal/2167/ So I’ve been wanting to make that pattern again but I’ve noticed some people make a tear drop loop and the color of the diamond follows the shape of the tear drop loop. But when I followed @Craftanati tutorial video, while following the pattern I noticed that my strings were in the wrong color order and idk how to fix this. What do I do? Examples @Bobbs82 photo under the pattern |

I'm a little confused what you mean but here is a tutorial I wrote on triangle ends that can be applied to any shaped start including teardrop loops https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/98_how-to-make-triangle-ends/My recommendation would be that you take a screenshot or print the pattern and then draw the shape of the start into it like I did in the tutorial. This way it's easier to tell which string order you will need. |

Yes, but all shaped ends work the same. You're trying to do a teardrop loop which is shaped like this \/. Each of the edges on its own work exactly like the edges in a teardrop loop would work.

i wasn’t really talking about shaped ends in my post, i was asking if someone could help me figure out the color order for that pattern because i always mix them up when i actually start doing it

You want to do a teardrop loop. That means the the beginning of your knotting is shaped like a V. Since it's shaped like that, It's like two half triangle ends. Per definition a teardrop loop is a shaped start because it works like any other shaped start. Once you understood the concept of a shaped start you can do them all. The V-shape is important because it determines the order in which your strings need to be. Take a screenshot and draw that V into the pattern. It helps you see the order of the strings better. A good place to start a teardrop loop in this pattern would be row 7. Look at the order of the strings in between the white and turquoise string. That's the order you need. For most diamond/arrowhead pattern when you do any shaped start like a teardrop loop or a triangle end, the strings mostly need to be in the order that you want them to appear in in the bracelet. So if you want a gradient, you need to put them in gradient order. |

I set it as my profile pic. Let me know once you saw it so I can change it back.The order in which your strings need to be if you make the teardrop loop like I drew it in needs to be blue, purple, pink, light pink, white, light blue I forgot in my last reply that you wanted to know it for this specific variation, sorry |

If you look at the orange line I drew in, your strings need to be in the order in which the orange line crosses them

Aaa I think I figured out my problem! turns out I was doing tear drop loops wrong this whole time You see- I’d make a loop then follow the abcdef fedcba order right after making the loop which is why I would have holes or gaps in my loop |
