Hello everyone! I need some help with my Candy Stripe bracelet. The ends of the bracelet on the right are curling in and I don't know what to do. Currently, they are being held down with tape. If you have had the same problem or if you want to help, please respond to this message. It is not a huge problem, but it is making my bracelet look weird. Thanks!

yes as the other person said since the pattern doesn’t mirror itself, your bracelet will naturally curve. a way to mitigate that is to use the straight edges technique. basically, you add two strings on either side. you do a backward-forward knot with the second to left string onto one of the extra strings and then continue with your forward knots until you reach the last string. on the last string you do a forward-backward knot. so instead of all forward knots you do bf, f, f,..., fb. this may help to some extent but even so, it is difficult to keep the sides perfectly straight in a candystripe. it also helps if you have even knot tension. i hope this helps! 🙂
