I am making an alpha pattern with 4 colors. I have 3 shades of blue and a cream color for the "background". I used one of the dark blues as my background strings and was going to use the cream as my lead string, but it isn't looking good at all when I'm trying to change the colors, since the cream isn't an actual part of the bracelet. Hopefully this isn't too confusing but I'm realizing I'm more than likely not doing it the right way. Any tips would be awesome!

The more common way would be to not make knots with your base strings and only make knots with your leading strings. To make a knot of a different colour, you need to switch to a new leading string.There are two ways you can make a colour switch -regular colour switch: make the last knot of your old colour, fold the old leading string behind the bracelet, make a knot with the string of the new colour -flat alpha colour switch: make the last knot of the old colour, fold the old leading string up in front of the bracelet, make the first half of the knot of the new colour, fold the old leading string over the base string you just knotted on and then behind the bracelet, then make the second half of the knot MashaKnots has good videos on both techniques |
