It sounds like since you're changing direction with the two halves of the knot, it throws off your tension so the first half of the knot is looser than it would be if you were doing a forward/backward knot instead. You should just make sure the first half of your knots are tighter when you do bf/fb knots and it should fix the problem.I hope this makes sense and helps! ♡ |

the thing is, i've tried making the first half of the knot tighter already, and the holes are still there

Try to have the same tension of knots and the same thickness/type of thread, that could help preventing the "holes" you are describing.

Then you may have to knot the strings closer together, if that makes sense. I've noticed that holes do occur when i make 1212 patterns (patterns with only bf/fb knots) but i can usually fix them with tying the strings closer together, since they usually separate a little with a fb/bf knot, and they aren't very big. I'm not sure what else could be causing the problem if its not either if those things

do you mean like, having the threads physically closer together when knotting? bc i tend to separate the threads i have knotted from those i haven't when working on a row

Like when you knot, make sure that the thread you're knotting on gets pulled to the thread that you had previously knotted on. You shouldn't have to push then together, they should just slide closer together. They won't overlap, they'll just be pulled close to prevent holes

Try to keep tension on the string you are knotting with at all times. To me it sounds like the knot might loosen while you do the second half or just before that.
