I’m not a newbie, but I can’t figure out how to do the math for when you need to find how many empty rows to do before the actual pattern to center the image. Does anyone know how to do this?

Sometimes it makes it a lot easier if you can print out your pattern.

Yep but what if the pattern is smaller and I want to knot empty rows before that? Sorry if I wasn’t clear

Basically find out how long you want it to be (I do 14 cm), then make a couple of rows until it is 1cm. Find out how many rows that is, and multiply it by how many cm you want you bracelet to be (example: 6×14). Now count how many rows your pattern takes up, and subtract that from what you got earlier (6×14-10). Now divide that by two, and that is how many rows you need on either side of the pattern.

Hope this helps! 🙂

I usually do my alphas 72 rows and subtract the pattern amount and divide by two for each side !!
