Have you watched this video?

I think this video explains pretty much everything and from the title it sounds like you watched it. Is there any specific part you don't understand?

I had written down steps for someone else so I'm just gonna paste them here.

The creator of the video does not want anyone to recreate the tutorial so I hope she doesn't mind me summing up her video

Here are the steps as described in the video:
- attach your base strings to a horizontal string using lark's head knots
- knot a row of f knots normally for the first row
- fold the six middle base strings up so they're out of the way
- on the right side you do b knots until you're at the gap and then f knots back to the edge
- on the left side you do f knots until you are at the edge with a new leading string and then b knots back to the edge
- fold the 6 left out base strings down again and divide them into two groups of 3

- take the second string of the right group and make a bf knot onto the first string of the right group
- take the third string of the right group and make a bf knot onto the first and the second string of the right group at once
- take the string on the right of these three strings and make a bf knot onto these three strings at once
- leave the fourth string out, take one of the three strings and make a bf knot onto the other two strings at once
- leave the third string out, take one of the two strings and do a bf knot onto the other string

- on the left side you do the same but mirrored

-once you've done this on the left and the right make any knot you like between the two middle strings

For the next step I am not entirely sure because you can't see it super well in the video and she doesn't specify it

- take the right leading string and make b knots until you get to the 6 strings left out in the beginning, make a bf knot onto the third string of the right group and then make f knots back to the edge
- take the right leading string and make b knots to the middle and include the third and second string, make a bf knot onto the first string and then make f knots back to the edge

- do the same on the left but mirrored

- take the right leading string and continue knotting in rows like you usually would

-to finish the bracelet you cut the loose strings close to the bracelet and glue the ends down (I'm unsure which glue she uses)

@halokiwi I have watched that video also
I didn't understand where she puts 6 strings up and the knots two rows if their are four strings on right and left then on the edge she did segment knot then which knot we have to do with the fourth string? Simple knot or segment knot?
Sorry if you didn't understand what I typed in here.

Thank you for helping halokiwi 😊
But my question take 4 string which are on the left side then if we goes left to right so we need to do segment knot on FIRST string then for other 3 strings the 2 strings will be forward knot then which knot will be for the last string the fourth string or the one which will be last connected to the loop?
Sorry if it's bit confusing

It's an alpha. In alphas you always knot row by row. You can't segment-knot them.

So when she folds the the 6 base strings up to leave them out, on both the left and the right side you still knot row-by-row like you usually would. You just need to add a second leading string.

Do you know what segment-knotting is? It is a technique used in normal patterns when instead of knotting row-by-row you knot in diagonals as much as possible. If you have ever done the candystripe #1 or the chevron #2 you have most likely already segment-knotted. I think you mean something different than segment knotting.
