So I want to do the triangle at the very end that loops back to the top. So for the left side would I do BK with black over all strings, then BK over all but dark color, med color, light color, black, then BF over last color (I would have used black, but didn't have any). Then I would take my dark color and make a FK, and work my way through the pattern. Correct?

Might need more context, I'm using black to be the background, and then dark blue, med blue, light blue for the square/arrows. I've never done a triangle start, and I couldn't make it make sense with this pattern.

Wait, I looked again, I'd use black over all, dark color over all except that one, and with that pattern then do medium, light, black. Would I be able to do a bf knot over the one I'm only knotting on then with that black?

im not sure what ur describing, but i can try explaining a triangle end? get the pattern and mentally or on a ss of the pattern, mark where you want to start the triangle. where you’ve marked it, there are colored lines where it shows you the color that is coming to make the knot—whether that be making the knot, or if it’s being knotted on to—the colored lines that are where you’re making the triangle are the strings that you want on each side. once you’ve done that, you’re going to start at the top and with the first color line you see, take that colored string and make a knot around the whole bundle of strings on that side. since there’s twelve strings, and you’ve made a triangle (which make the amount of strings on each side half of the total number of strings), the first knot that you make by knotting on all the strings on that side, you should be making a knot on 5 strings total. it doesn’t really matter what knot make as long as it brings the string inside* then you would take the next color in the triangle you’ve marked, and then make a knot on all the strings EXCEPT the string you’ve knotted with, so you should have knotted 4 strings together. and you keep doing that, excluding the string youve previously knotted with. you do that for both sides (Making sure that you are making the knots so it comes on the inside of the triangle) and once you can’t knot anymore, then you’re triangle is finished and your u can begin the pattern of the bracelet. but if you can, id recommend watching a tutorial on it. masha knots has a really good one on triangle ends.

*to elaborate on the strings moving to the inside of the circle, if you’re knotting on the left bundle, you’ll want to make either a forward or backward forward. and on the right, a backward or forward backward knot is what you should do.
