A good pattern to begin making alphas is one with not many strings and not many colours. You can use the filters when going to patterns to find a pattern matching these criteria.I don't think it is easier to explain or understand how to do a colour switch in written form than it is in a video. Which video have you been watching and what exactly have you not understood? Have you already tried to do a colour switch or does this judgement come from only watching? |

@halokiwi I don’t remember what videos I watched but I have trouble with trying to do the knots when adding they keep ending up funky

I recommend watching MashaKnots' video on the flat alpha technique.After that I recommend trying again. I recommend a pattern like this #24454 or this #36730 to really practice the colour switches. I can try to describe the flat alpha colour switch: - make the last knot of the old colour like usual - make the first half of the knot of the new colour like usual - take the old leading string and lay it over the basestring you just knotted onto - make the second half of the first knot of the new colour so the old leading string is sandwiched in the knot |
