I would recommend the ladder bracelet on Masha Knots YouTube channel (I’m pretty sure it’s called the ladder bracelet but it’s striped kinda bracelet), It was my first and I found it quite easy and cool looking!

You can try #16650. I made that as my first alpha bracelet. Hope this helps 😊

#24910 is a really good first alpha. I also really recommend learning the straight edges technique and the flat alpha technique if you haven’t yet. Masha Knots explains both of them in her YouTube video “flat alphas - beginner tutorial”. Some people think you shouldn’t do the flat technique from the beginning, but I disagree. It makes it way easier to learn the technique and get comfortable with it if you start using it early on. I’ve actually never made an alpha without using that technique. Feel free to message me if you need any help!

I wouldn't say there is one certain pattern that you should start with. I would recommend doing an alpha that has not a lot of base strings, and that only has two colors, so that you can get used to color switches and not have too many colors to worry about. I would also recommend learning to make alphas with the flat alpha technique so you can always make alphas that look neater. Hope this helped! 🙂

#21734 is a good starting alpha. Not to many strings and only 2 colors. It can be a keychain or a bracelet and there is a lot of creative freedom with that one. If you can, Masha Knots’ technique for alphas is really helpful but it can be a bit tricky. If you do simple ones, you may not need that technique though. Good luck!

I think that doing a rag rug-type bracelet is a good place to start, i did that and it was super easy and uses loose/ extra string u have. They have lots of good youtube vids for it. 👍

I think any alpha that’s 2-3 colors and less than 15 strings!

I don’t do alpha but my friend does and I’m trying to learn how and I recommend starting with a non Full braclet. ( try just one small design like a heart with a white background and go from there until you can make a small one with no mistakes and then I would try a full braclet
