I saw Kinsey B's unicorn bracelet with a loop and a triangle end and I'm wondering how I make one. I'm also wondering how you make a bracelet with a normal loop (not teardrop) and then continue on with the bracelet. Thank you!

You first do your loop. For the triangle end you pick a triangle from your pattern that you want to be your start. You look at which order the strings at the sides of the triangle have. On the left side you do a f knot with the first string on all other strings like it's just one string. Then you take the second string and do the same but you leave the first one out. You continue doing this until you used all strings. On the right side you do the same but with b knots.

If you don't want to have a shaped end and start with rows you can do that too. You arrange your strings how you need them for row 1. You start doing the first row like you usually would. You can basically ignore the loop at the beginning.

I personally prefer triangle ends or teardrop loops but I think if you do a small bracelet it doesn't matter as much if you don't make them.

The previous post pretty much explained it... But I would like to add a tip for doing the loop without doing the 'teardrop'... And that is, once you're done with the loop and are ready to begin the bracelet, do the center knot first and work your way around that, that will help give you a straight beginning. You'll have to work gently around that area though as you do, because it's a tad fragile. 🙂
