Take another alpha you have already made and measure how long a certain amount of rows is. From this you'll be able to calculate how long 111 rows will be and how long your base strings need to be.

Then fold your strings in half and cut

The advice that @hannah_k11 gave you is for normal patterns

@djsknots36 the question is about an alpha pattern, not a normal pattern

Hi! I'm trying out a new pattern #76616 (although this is kinda a general question I have) how much string do I use, and how do I know if it's enough or too much?

Thanks!

@SirSquirrl I think MashaKnots gives advice on how long to cut the strings in her video on the daisy chain
