If you make a shaped start, you can fit any number on it.

I would recommend counting how many knots wide a one inch wide alpha bracelet is. This amount of base strings should fit without the keychain getting scrunched up.

@hamin6 the MOST I was personally able to fit was 22 base strings. It is *slightly* scrunched. You can see this as the raccoon keychain on my profile for reference. I would stick to under 20 base strings, as even with the 22 I had to constantly adjust my work to make it look less scrunch-y.
