@sydn3y19 on braceletbook the strings of normal patterns have to be in the original order again at the end of the pattern. If they are not, this can be very confusing for less experienced knotters. (Check out the comments of pattern #18). In some patterns like this one, making the strings match is not possible. One repeat of this pattern is 44 rows and the pattern has 5 colours. That means the pattern would need 44x5=220 rows until the strings match. Patterns on braceletbook can only have up to 200 rows. In cases like these, you need to put as many repeats as possible or 200 rows of the pattern. It is very unlikely that someone would actually get to row 200, so all the rows are probably not actually needed, but it is still nice just in case.
@sydn3y19 i don't know what you mean. the pattern is perfectly visible throughout all rows, and these are just the braceletbook guidelines so I couldn't have done it any other way. you can cut the pattern off after 44 rows and take a screenshot and keep repeating it that way if you're having issues loading the whole pattern? that's what i would do in your case 🙂 there's also the possibility of changing your browser zoom level while you're working on the pattern so you can see more of it at once.
@sydn3y19 hi 🙂 the pattern does not repeat for very many rows because of shifting colours, and the rules on braceletbook are that when that happens, you have to make the pattern the maximum of 200 rows- therefore i couldn't make it any shorter. you can start the pattern wherever you like and end it wherever you like <3 200 rows mean people can choose where in the colour shift they want to start the pattern, and it is easier for beginners who are not as familiar with patterns and rely on seeing the colours of thread in the correct spot! the pattern repeats every 42 rows, so if you don't want to keep scrolling, you can just cut it at 42 rows and keep repeating it that way. hope that helps <3
