Hey! I'm new to following patterns. All has been good when making the striped and the chevron bracelet but now when I've been trying to learn to follow patterns my bracelets get all warped and funny looking. I don't know if I'm tying to loose or to tight. I get big holes sometimes and need to tighten everything up and then it gets warped.I'll add an umgur link below. I'm grateful for any help i can get!https://imgur.com/a/8tV5D7A |

I think it's to do with the tightness of your knots. You have to do them quite tight but if you do the knots too tight they will warp and look wonky. This is what I think based of the picture you have put

It looks like you’re not tying your knots tight enough. Keep in mind that the first half of the knot that determines the placement (tightness) of the knot, and the second half determines the length of the knot. So if you tie the first half loosely then no matter how tight you tie the second half, it won’t make the whole knot any tighter. Also, make sure that your tension is consistent, because if some knots are tighter and some are looser, it’ll make the bracelet look a little weird

Some time braclets can curl based on the knot structure, there is not really anything you can do about it, but if your desperate you can iron them, I would just suggest you put a piece of cloth in between the braclet and the iron so it doesn't melt. 😊
