There is no way to 'reverse' or rotate a pattern. I recommend taking a screenshot of the pattern, rotate that, and then use that as your reference to remake the design.

Thank you for your answer!
I think I expressed myself incorrectly. I would like to create a pattern based on a photo of a knotted ribbon.

Do you have a link to the photo you photo of the ribbon (bracelet?) you want to base your pattern on? If yes, can you share the link? If no, can you set the photo as your profile picture temporarily?

How far did you get with making the pattern? Did you manage to put the pattern into the generator?

What do you mean by you need to 'reverse' it? Maybe that you need to rotate it 45 degrees?

I'm not sure I understand, what your issue is. Maybe @KrazyKnotz understands better.

I think you basically got it figured out.

It's pattern #81. You just need to change the string order.

If you want to put it into the generator yourself, here is the knotting structure for the generator:

f,f,f,f,f,f
b,b,b,b,b

And here is the order for the strings: fafaebebdcdc

a = yellow
b = light turqouise
c = dark turqouise
d =dark purple
e = light purple
f = pink

I can also add a variation for you to see, then you don't need to do it yourself.

I think I've seen you before asking about this either on reddit or facebook, maybe even on here. ๐Ÿค”

Is there a reason you need/want the purple string to be on the right edge? Because just like you I think the purple string has no business being at the right edge, at least not in the starting position you have put in your sketch.

Thaaaaaaaank you so much. I give it a try!
No I never asked before. I am not on reddit ๐Ÿค”

I will tell you how it turned out.

I think that the purple one is maybe because it is a collar and to "clamp in". Never done a collar but in youtube it is shown like that
