@c0w456789 if you haven't made alphas before, I suggest you start with something that's not an actual pattern, so you get used to knotting straight across, back and forth. Tape down about six or more 10" base strings using ugly thread (so not to waste your favorite colors) and tape another really long thread next to the top, then just start making forward knots straight across each string. At the end, make backward knots starting on the same base string you ended with. Keep going back and forth until the string is used up, add another string by taping it down where you left off to continue knotting. The best way to understand is just start knotting, you'll figure it out as you go. Another good one is a rag rug which just uses mostly your shorter scrap threads in no particular order #36730 Or a vertical wave #15234 Video tutorials on both. And look through the photos for inspo 😄
