I suggest one wingspan (or like 5 inches shorter) folded in half (:

The base strings (the strings you make knots into) is only supposed to be as long as the bracelet itself. You don’t have to make them super long like you do in normal patterns because you don’t knot with those strings.

For the leading string, the one you knot with, you can just use the entire skein until you don’t need it

The base strings should be the length that you want the bracelet itself to be, plus extra for the ties
