It could just be a matter of tension, if your tension changes the bracelet is going be askew. Likewise if your forward knots are tighter than your backward knots or vice versa. The only way to really fix this is to make sure you have a consistent tension. Sometimes pulling the strings back and forth gently will help if it's not too curled. Sometimes the way the pattern itself is made will cause the bracelet to be slightly askew because it may have too many knots going in one direction (like with a candystripe), if this is the case with the pattern you are doing, the straight edges technique will help solve it. |

It might sound stupid but when working on the bracelet try to keep it straight. Try not to pull it to the side. If you realise you're pulling to one side you could try to turn your clipboard or whatever you use to secure your bracelet a bit in that direction so you're pulling straight again.

You might be tying your knots too tight. That sometimes makes your bracelets lean to the side.

For bracelets where the knots are all or mainly forward/backwards it will naturally lean in that direction I think 🤔🙂
