@MirelleM can you provide some information why you would have preferred two repeats?
@finleyh08 the length needed is slightly different from pattern to pattern and depends on how many knots of the own colour a string makes. There are two tutorials on how to calculate string length in the tutorial section.
It would be super helpful to have two reports of the pattern (16 rows) shown instead of just one / eight rows.
Jaelyn: I like to have a v-shape in the beginning, so I usually start with the middle knot in the first row (after making a big knot with all the threads, leaving ca 15cm for ribbons), and work diagonally towards both sides. That means that I only make the middle knot in the first row, then the two middle knots in the second row, the three knots in the middle in the third row, and so on. I use ca 1,5 m long threads.
@jaelyn0921 there are always multiple ways how you can start a pattern. The easiest way would probably be putting the strings in the order you see on top and then starting in a straight line. How experienced are you with making bracelets?
