Any alpha pattern with 2 or 3 colours and not many base strings (maybe up to 10)The less colour switches there are, the easier the pattern is to do. The less base strings there are, the less likely you are to get confused by the strings and you'll also be done faster which leads to less frustration and boredom. |

I would also recommend no edge color changes. He are some good starting alphas. #139995 #58718 #46385 #17347

Hi, I'm new to alpha. Last week I enthusiastically started my first ever alpha pattern. A wall hanging of 68 basestrings 🙈 I quickly came to te conlusion that it would take me A LOT of time. But also saw that the knots weren't perfectly "squared" but a more elongated rectengular shape. Which made the proportions of my work look way different than on the pattern (which ofc has a square pixalted look). Is there a way/technique to make more round/square knots when making an alpha pattern? Btw: I used a differend type of embroidery thread for the base strings because this was a little cheaper. Hopefully someone can answer my question. xx MsMirrors |

@MsMirrors you could use thicker base strings to make your knots a little wider. You don't necessarily need to use embroidery floss for those.
