Do you mean by folding the strings in half so you can start a loop?

@mrs_jordan oh no no, I mean starting a pattern from the middle and working on both sides. for example, if a design has 31 rows, I start at the 16th and first make one side of it (16-31) and then another side (1-16) so that I can make it highly symmetrical. is there any tutorial out there about this?

Let's say you want to do an alpha pattern. First you figure out how many rows an alpha bracelets usually has for you. Then take that amount minus the amount of rows from your design to get the amount of "empty" rows. Divide the amount of "empty" rows by 2 to get the amount of "empty" rows on both the left and the right.Is that what you mean? |

i think i get what you’re saying but correct me if i’m wrong. so what i would do is cut your strings the length that you would for a regular bracelet. and then find the middle of those strings and start from there. so basically, it would be like starting a bracelet from a straight start. and then when you feel like you have enough done in that side, flip it around and do the same exact amount on the other side. but if you want it to be exact symmetrical, i would find a normal bravelet you’ve already made and then count the amount of repeats of that pattern and then multiply by the number of rows so you can do some math to figure out where to start so you can have a perfect middle. and i would also account of (if you use a bracelet with a loop to help you estimate how many rows to do) some extra string to help cushion it from getting too short because if it’s what i think you’re talking abt, i’ve run into that problem a few times

Now that I know that you are referring to normal patterns, this is the closest I could find:https://youtu.be/CQreSzyd9lM It should work with two of the same patterns too |
