My daisy chains keep going straight instead of making circles I’m between the daisies is there any way to stop that from happening or are they all like that

It happens for me sometimes as well. Some tips:
- you may have to manually bend the circles before starting out the ‘daisy’ bit underneath. Somehow I find that if you do it that way it tends to stay more round. However, if you have already finished the bracelet, sometimes going back in to pull the loops outward so it makes a rounder circle works too.
- the number forward-backward/ backward-forward knots per loop. Because our knotting styles are all different, you may be using too many knots, which can make it straighten out, or too little so the bent portion can’t really develop fully.
- you may need to knot slightly tighter for circles to develop. Because, looser knots tend to give a more fluid design, which can end up making the loops look straighter than what you may prefer.
Hope this helps! ❤️ ❤️

I had the same problem at first, but I used a pencil to make it "rounder". Before you start the daisy, follow the pattern so you have an equal amount of knots on both sides. Then wrap them both around the pencil (if you use too much knots then you can use something else, like a pen or marker) and THEN start the daisy. When the knots are secured you can slide the pencil out and for me they became more round.

Hope this makes sense and is helpful to you😊
