@abigailxxx there's a photo of what this pattern looks like when knotted, does your bracelet look like that?
In generated previews of all normal patterns you'll see a bit extra on the outside edges of the design that doesn't show in finished bracelets because those bits aren't knots. You can add 2 strings to the sides for the straight-edge technique so those end colors will show. For this pattern, there's already a straight-edge version #106764 with photos so you can see the difference 😊
