If doing alpha from image and you look at the alpha output showing the pattern instructions.....can you create from these instructions?

My designs don't need to be approved published for the pattern to work right?

The types of patterns I'm trying to make do have similar colours so I keep getting rejected but the colours are necessary for what the picture is?

Also I'm trying to make these a picture not a small bracelet.
The biggest design on site I've found is patter #71945
How big would the picture be in cms any idea?? 

Thank you

The pattern will still work even without the pattern being published. All pattern data is visible in the generator and you can knot your pattern based on that. You just can't publish a photo of your bracelet. If you want to publish a photo, you would need to publish the pattern first.

For published patterns it is important, that the colours are easy to tell apart, so other users don't struggle when reading your pattern. If you don't plan to publish your pattern, it is alright, if the colours are similar, as long as you can work with them. But if you want to publish the pattern, the colours need to be different enough from each other. They don't need to be the exact colours which you plan to use for knotting. Patterns can be knotted in any colours users prefer.

200x200 is the biggest possible pattern size for alpha patterns on braceletbook. How big an item with this amount of knots would be depends on the material you are using and how tight you knot. I recommend knotting a smaller test swatch for example 10x10 knots big to be able to calculate how big 200x200 knots or any other amount of knots would be for you.
