@Xandra3737 the flowers are basically a combination of 6 chevrons. Each petal is a chevron. I recommend watching one of the videos posted to the pattern.
@alisss Thank you ☺️ It's a bit difficult to explain but I'll try 😅 I followed the first video tutorial (double sided mandala flower) to make the pattern, but instead of connecting it by 1 row as shown in the video a kept going for about 4 more I think and it naturally started to curve inward. After I was happy with the length I did the regular triangle ending you would use for a bracelet, but this is the special part. Instead of going toward the apex of the petal like most people in the photos here I went from the apex in. Also I didn't go all the way, I skipped the last knot and instead tied the 2 inner most string (2 strings of the same color, purple for me) together and then also tied the next 2 closest (magenta in my case) to really secure the shape. After this, all the strings should be curving inside of the cylinder. I chose 1 color and pulled all the strings of that color (light gray in my case) upwards through the small hole in the middle so I can hang it, the rest I pulled downwards through a keyring which I first divided into smaller sections by a net (imagine making a dream catcher, I used the same technique). I always put 4 strings in 1 section After that I made the twists (1 twist = 4 string for the bigger ones that hold the keyring, if you use 2 strings from 1 section in the net and 2 from another and do it symmetrically around the ring it secures the keyring in place, for the strings in the center I did 1 twist = 2 strings). The last step is just to twist the rest if the strings. I'm sorry if this is confusing, english is not my first language, If you have any questions feel free to message me, I can send you photos or try to explain better. I was thinking of making a tutorial tbh, but it took me 3 days to finish the jellyfish and I'm not sure I want to go through it again 😅😅🙈
