@EmmaC43 Hi! I know that this may be a bit late, but if you want to make half of the pattern, then you can just use 10 strings and only make half of the knots on each row. For example on row one you could only make the first 5 knots, and then on row two the first 4. Then row 3 you can do 5 and row 4 you can do 4 and so on. I hope that this helps and have a great day!
