Make sure you tie your knots tight enough. Before making the second half of your knot, make sure the first half is pulled tight. When making the second half, take care so the first half doesn't loosen.

you are either not typing your knots enough or the pattern itself is designed to have holes, or you are forgetting, missing knots that were supposed to be there.

Your bracelet probably has holes because you're not tying your knots tight enough. You can watch different tutorials on Youtube for more in depth explanations on this question. Also, make sure you are tying your first half of the knot just as tight as the second half. If you are tying the first half of the knot really loose and then tying the second half really tight, the knot will have numerous holes in it, and the bracelet will look very holey. Make sure to just keep practicing though! The best way to improve is to just keep practicing and trying new ways of knotting. You can experiment with trying to know loose and trying to knot tight. If it's more comfortable and easier for you to knot tight, then do that. If it is way easier and more comfortable to knot loose, then knot loose! 🙂 I hope this helped! Just remember, keep knotting! Also, I had the same issue when I was a beginner. I kept making the first half of my knot way too loose, so the knot was filled with many holes. After a few weeks, I discovered that, so my mom told me to try to make the first half tighter and tie the first half as tight or loose as the second half of the knot. That tip really helped me to improve my bracelet skills in terms of getting my bracelets to not have that many holes. I thought my bracelets looked really ugly that way, so I had lots of pressure on me to make them better, so I don't feel like I'm wasting string! Also, I committed a lot to making bracelets nicely because I started making them in quarantine, so I had lots of time on my hands. I really hope this reply helps you to make better bracelets and improve your confidence in bracelet making! In a few years, I know that your bracelets will look fantastic and all of your hard work will be put to good use to make awesome bracelets! Also, have fun knotting and making bracelets! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
