Does anyone know how to do the triangle ends on alphas like how Claire Hair does them? I understand the beginning, but I think the ending is similar yet different technique

It looks like the technique she is using is the same you'd use for triangle ends when you'd do a normal pattern.Let's say you've got 6 strings (it's just an example). I've numbered the strings from 1 to 6 from left to right. Which knots you do doesn't really matter. In the first row you do knots between string 1 and 2, 3 and 4,5 and 6 In the second row you do knots between string 2 and 3,4 and 5 In the third row you do knots between string 3 and 4 Now you've got a triangle shape with 3 knots in the first, 2 knots in the second and 1 knot in the third row. Now you've still got strings sticking out to the side. There are three strings on the left and three on the right. I number the strings from top to bottom 1 to 3 on each side. On the left side you take string 2 and do a b knot with it onto string 1. Then you take string 3 and do a b knot on string 1 and 2 at once. If you had more strings you'd continue like this and always do b knots onto all previous strings together. On the right side you do the same thing with f knots instead of b knots. I hope that makes sense and is the technique you had in mind. |

Personally I like to do normal triangle ends on alphas which masha knots has a tutorial and I think she has one on alpha triangle ends 🙂

Alex's Innovations has a good video on it, it's how I learned to do it.
