@huntides the easiest way is to not do a loop, but if you really want to do a loop, MashaKnots has a video on making a loop with odd amounts of string.
i’m relatively new to this but i really enjoy this pattern and i was wondering if there was a specific way to go about making this regarding the uneven amount of string colors? would it be smarter to make one end of the “single” strings shorter & simply weave it into the bracelet until it is no longer noticeable or should it be hidden into the base knot?
