Iโ€™ve never attempted one so is it the same as a normal bracelet? Also leave pattern numbers for easy ones to try to start with (also say what the pattern is so I donโ€™t have to look through every single one) thank you!

In alphas you use the same knots as in normals: forward knots and backwards knots. If you use the straight edges technique, you'll also use fb and bf knots.

Good patterns to start are any patterns with not too many base strings and not too many colours:

I recommend watching MashaKnots' video on the flat alpha technique. She explains very well how to do alphas:
