your best bet is to go on the youtube channel called masha knots and find her introduction to bracelet making video

On YouTube, MashaKnots has a lot of great beginner videos. You should check out her how to read patterns, beginners guide, and basic knots videos. She is very thorough and will give you everything you need to know to start making bracelets. 🙂

On youtube, Kinsey b and Masha knots have great tutorials on that but some other great YouTubers for bracelets are Craftanatic and Alexs Innovations. I am not sure if they have tutorials on how to read patterns though but they do have great content.

Basically you read patterns going across,
If you look at the pattern, on the sides you see numbers and they represent the row. There will be a kind of faint line going across the page from one side to the other.
The letters on the top stand for the colour and you lay your strings out in that order.
Once you lay out your strings you take a look at the first row.
For instance, I will refer to pattern number #18
The first thing you want to do is pair up your string
The first row says the first pair is a forward knot.
then the second knot is a forward knot too, and the third
Once you have finished that row, you will see two little things hanging out on the sides of the pattern on the second row. This just means you need to leave the outer two strings out and then pair up your strings again and continue making your row and then add them back in on the third.
I hope this helped

Two videos by MashaKnots are also linked with any normal patterns. Idk if that's just the case on the website or only the app but here are the links:

(Also if someone knows if the videos are linked on the app as well could you please tell me? I feel like I'm saying the same thing each time.)

If you have trouble figuring out what knot to make, its simple. Look around the knot. The two lines on top that intersect are the strings youll need. There will be a bubble in the color of your knotting string. Think of the arrows like a book. If its facing the direction you normally read in which is left to right, its a forward knot. If its facing the opposite way, right to left its a backward knot. If it goes forward then backward, its a forward backward knot. If it goes backward then forward, its a backward forward knot.
