Does your alpha pattern have only two colours? If no, it might not be possible to turn it into a 1212 pattern.Basically what you do is rotate the pattern 45 degrees. You count how long the biggest diagonal in the original alpha pattern is. Double that amount is the amount of strings you need in your normal pattern. In the normal pattern generator, put the colours order ababababababab... and alternate rows of fb and bf knots. Do as many rows as you need for your pattern. This should produce a single coloured pattern. Go to the interactive generator. Change bf knots to fb and fb knots to bf at all the places you want the second colour to show. If you can't figure it out, feel free to leave the pattern number here and someone might design that pattern for you. |

Another question: are you trying to turn it into a normal pattern in general or into a normal pattern with only fb and bf knots specifically?

Are you now able to design the pattern yourself or do you need someone else to do it for you?
