Are there any loops for bracelets besides the teardrop loop?

Is there any lopp that's less thick than the teardrop loop? I just think most of the times the teardrop loop looks too big or too thick and gives a weird look to the bracelet. I couldn't find anything online so maybe you guys can help me with this.

You can do any start you like after a loop for example a regular triangle end. You could also start with a slanted edge so it is like a half triangle end. Basically you can do any start that you can do without a loop too.

@halokiwi Thank you but I meant the loop itself, if there are different loops for bracelets or if there's a way to make the loop less thick.

You don’t have to do a stitched loop, you can just leave the strings loose, like I did for #82514. Alternatively, you could do braids or twisted ties and start the bracelet with a triangle end, like what @Racoon did for #33616

Look on YouTube Masha knots has a tutorial or a half and half loop and switching color for an alternating color loop

a teardrop loop is where you bring the strings down into a chevron, right? If that’s what you’re thinking, then yes there are!You can make a simple stitched loop and then take it into a triangle end. The loop itself will look the same as the teardrop loop, being that it’s a stitched loop, but it won’t have the teardrop shape. If you look at daisy chain bracelets, the loop will look like the start of those. |

As for making the loop less thick, that’s just because you have a lot of strings. Personally I don’t like loops for over 12 strings. There’s no way to make the loop less thick other than using thinner strings 🙂maybe if you’re using embroidery floss, you could remove 2 or 3 of the strands? this would result in an overall smaller and thinner bracelet🙂 |

If that doesn’t work let me know and I’ll do some experiments and make a tutorial🙂
