is it possible to make the fin straight like it is in the pattern? would there be a way to do that?

@goldflower how long did you make the square knots portion on each side of the shark?

I’ve made a few for my friends. It’s great, pretty easy and still impressive so perfect for beginners

what do you do with the black strings after?

@Charli3333 For shaped alphas you start with all the base strings and hide the extra strings inside the first and last knots on both sides of the pattern.

For row 1 you make one knot with the leading string over 4 base strings held together and one knot over 8 base strings held together. When you get to the shark you can remove strings as needed, one row at a time keeping the bundles of multiple base strings on the first and last knot

Row 36 is a little bit different because it looks a little bit messy if you try to shape 5 strings at once. So instead of trying to hide all 5 strings at once in row 37, you can hide them in the knots at row 36
To start row 36 instead of backwards knots, make those first 5 knots forward-backwards knots gathering the previous base strings as you knot. (This will look like a diagonal row of knots but you can tug on each individual base string to push it up into place)

There are also lots of shaped alpha videos of you need more help

I'm new to shaped alphas and have a question about starting this thing off. there is 12 strings total but at the beginning we start with 2 only, what do we do with the other 10?And how do I start it off, like as the teardrop loop?

@luvvrnina yeah, sorry about that. I might have a better more detailed explanation on the very first comment?

Anyway it's like how you would shape a triangle end except you use the leading string instead of base strings to make those 5 knots
