So I am working on knot tension and so far I have heard that loosening knots helps a lot with tidy knots but I have heard to different things. Some people say tight first know and some say second which one is correct?

I’m not sure which is correct, but I do tight first and loose second. It also makes it easier if you’re connecting the strings after making a loop or something to do tight first or else it might look weird

I do both reasonably tight. I am bad at making them the same looseness if I forget about the bracelet for a week and then pick it up again. So I just do all tight knots. -- Actually I knot in a weird way so it is probably different than people who to the 4 shape and put their bracelet in a clip or tape it on a table. I knot with just my hands so I can take the project on the go. someday ill make a video cause it is hard to explain.

I do both of my knots about the same tightness.. But probably the first one is usually a little tighter, only in Alfas though! ❤️

The first half of the knot positions where the actual knot will be so I tend to make it tighter so that there’s no gap between the knots above it and it. I tend to do the second half of the knot looser because that’s the part that actually defines the tightness/size.

If the knot or string is being finicky, I do tight second. Otherwise, I do medium for both. It’s gives me room to adjust knots as I go (especially with alphas)

Tighter second I heard is better if you have had strings snap
