Depending on what type of string you're using its possible that you accidentally tied 2 strings together (instead of making a knot over 1 base string you've gone over 2) or that one of your base strings snapped. if its the first one you can just undo knots until you reach the point where you made the mistake. For the second one, there are tutorials on youtube on how to repair broken base strings in alphas.if you actually miscounted at the start I recommend just starting over. Technically you could add a new base string in, but it would probably make the bracelet look weird. |

@MiaKatss, i recommend taping down the end of your leading string off to the side, then starting to knot normally. once you finish the bracelet, you can ship of the ends and it should be pretty secure. you can use this technique every time you have to add a new string. hope this helps!

@itsaloveha it may be because you start making your knots looser (changing your tension). if you need to, undo the knots towards the ends and try retrying them tighter. hope this helps!
