@viviyoyo it really depends on your knotting style and how long you want your finished bracelet to be. If you have finished bracelets, you can measure how many lines of pattern are in each inch of bracelet (alphas and normals will measure differently) to esimate how much of the pattern to repeat. Of course, you'll have to remember how much string you started with to see how far it went! 😂 Usually, the length from your fingertips past your opposite shoulder is long enough, then add a bit more for the ties. 😊
