Every time I create a bracelet it always ends up super thin, but when I look at the pcs they are wayyyy bigger... Am I doing something wrong?

well generally, assuming that you are knotting with the correct amount of strings in the pattern, when your bracelet looks thinner than others that means that your knot tension is really tight. i’m guessing that the others were knotted with looser tension than yours. maybe try loosening up your knot tension? and also do you have a photo i can look at? if i can see a photo i’ll be able to help more🙂

It could also be that you're just working with thinner string than others. Some string even if it's only slightly thicker can make a large difference over the course of an entire bracelet!

If your string is too thin you could try using two strings as one string. That should make the bracelet thicker .

The string you are using could be thinner than others or your knotting could be tighter

Hey this happens to me a lot. I would recommend tying your knots looser or using thicker thread. It’s not bad to have thin bracelets.
