Does the flat alpha technique work on all alpha patterns?

Yes, it does. There's only one exception where you can't do it but that only applies to individual knots, not the whole pattern. You can't do it if the last knot before the edge switches colours. In that case you have to do that colour switch with the regular technique. But all other colour switches can be done with the flat alpha technique.

If the last knot of a row has a different colour and you would do the flat alpha technique the string that you have used before would stick out to the side and be visible.If you want you can watch MashaKnots' video on the flat alpha technique. She explains this case starting from 18:20. https://youtu.be/_YVFAX9sacw |

You're welcome 😄 you're definitely not the only one who skips that part. I've seen people asking this before despite having watched the video.

@Bileklik there will always be strings visible in the backside of an alpha 🙂 so you can't really avoid it. The only thing you can do is sew something to the back or make a double-sided keychain.

For example let’s say i used blue at the beginning at a certain part but I won’t have to use it anymore until the end of the bracelet
