I have never shaped an alpha before and I was wondering if this pattern # 141014 would be easy to knot as a shaped wallhanging? Or if any of you have any tips? 🙂

I have never personally made a shaped alpha but with that pattern I’m pretty sure it would be pretty straightforward, it would be like doing a triangle start and then a triangle end. The only difficulty i can think of is that there would be a lot of strings

Someone recently asked a similar question https://www.braceletbook.com/forum/3_bracelet-tying/29753_shaped-alpha-for-round-wallhangings/
and a link was put there to an instagram post showing how you could knot something like this with left out knots and loose strings

that’d be really easy since it never skips more than one knot. it’s basically just very large triangle ends 👍

@sage-wolf but since it is so big, you would need to hide a big amount of base strings in the edge knots, which might get a little messy

@halokiwi the most i’ve done is around 20 and i feel like it doesn’t get that messy. but it would take up quite a lot of string

Yeah, maybe messy is not the right word, uneven might describe it better because the knots around the edges would be a lot bigger @sage-wolf

@halokiwi @sage-wolf Yeah after looking at a few shaped wallhangings, such as this one: #76619 that someone made shaped, I do think it would look a bit thick on the sides. I was thinking maybe using thin thread I have so maybe it would look a bit better because the knots wouldn’t be as big but idk. Also thanks for the tips
