Hi, I was wondering when a good time (skill wise) to start alpha bracelets is? I started knotting about two weeks ago and I have done the basic candystripe, a 5 color diamond, an arrowhead, and I'm working on the fishbone chevron that masha knots showed in her video. I have done maybe four of each type except for the arrowhead and the fishbone. My knots are pretty good, I've been improving a lot on closing up the holes that appeared in my bracelets when I first started. I know this is long, but I'm just wondering when did you know you're ready for alphas?

In my opinion, I think the best time to start is when you are used to making bracelets and know how to read patterns. Remember, this is my opinion.

thank you! I just started reading patterns so I do think I need a little bit more work in that department

yeah once you get comfortable with the different knots and how to make bracelets in general, you can start to make alphas. honestly alphas are quite easy once you get the hang of it. you can probably start now if you’re comfortable with the different knots!

I did a chevron, candy stripe, then a braid bracelet and immediately went to alphas. They’re pretty easy tbh, I would say just start with fewer colors at first.

I just started to make alphas. In my opinion they are easy. The first couple will be hard but once you get the hang of it it's pretty simple.

I would wait a little longer, if you start to early you may feel abit overwhelmed 😊
