Hello! I have been working on knotting pattern #86824, which has a rainbow "ribbon" running from left to right and back again.

So, it's all forward knots for a bit and then all backwards knots for a bit.

I initially started segment knotting it and noticed the edges of the bracelet started to wave back and forth in a zigzag. It's kind of a neat effect, but how can I keep it square?

I'm trying just doing row by row now and it seems straighter, just not as fun!

Don't pull the bracelet to the right or left while knotting, but straight down.

Secure the bracelet so it can't move around a lot. Secure it close to where you are knotting, so that you are not putting stress on the complete bracelet all the time.
