The right side of the bracelet always look ok but the left side you can see the individual knots. How do I make the left side look like the right? I’m using the right type of knot (i think?). And it’s not twisting since i’m using a clipboard. I’m using the same amount of pulling strength for both sides. Any suggestions?

So from what I can see in the picture the right side of the bracelet looks pretty good. The left side however looks almost as though you flipped the bracelet around and started knotting on the back rather than the front.

However I am slightly confused as to how that could have happened if it wasn't twisting. All I can say is just make sure that you keep the same side of the bracelet facing you at all time and take extra care not to let it flip over.

If you're certain the bracelet isn't flipping over then the only other way that I can think that might be happening is if you're doing some kind of twisted backwards knot instead of forward knots. Just be sure that you do forward knots on the left side and backward knots on the right.

Masha knots has a great tutorial on the basic knots and I would recommend rewatching the section about forward knots a couple of times just to make sure that you are knotting them correctly.

I think you do your forward knots the wrong way. Make sure that you always cross the string you are knotting with OVER the string you are knotting onto.
