I recommend starting with an easy pattern for example one with just two colours and a small amount of base strings. To practice your colour switches, you can do a bracelet like the rag rug bracelet.

I would recommend starting with one of these patterns #78662 or #80292 . If you unhappy with the sides being wonky I would recommend Masha knots straight edge tutorial

Try using the straight edges technique! Several people have videos on it- Masha Knots is who I watched

@sacojoh making your knots on the looser side definetely helps with neater and straighter alpha bracelets. I would also recommend watching Masha knots' video on the flat alpha technique.
