I’ve been getting a lot of painful hangnails when I’m knotting because of the floss constantly rubbing against the tip of my finger. Is there any way to prevent this or make it a less common occurrence? I already have started moisturizing my hands everyday to make my skin less dry.

Are you sure it's from making bracelets? I've injured my skin before from tying but never got a hangnail from it. The places where you could get a hangnail for me are not in contact with the string while I tie.

You could put tape or bandaids around your fingertips to protect them. You could also try to vary the way you hold your strings while tying.

I use cuticle oil on my nails/fingers and it helps a ton!
