so personally i found with dmc string that on the right chain i did three bf knots, on the middle i did 2 f knots and 2 b knots and on the left chain i did five fb knots. then on the green beginning i made a fb knot with one green string over the other green string and one of the white strings as the first knot in the green part of the pattern. for the middle bit i made the first pink/red knot a f knot over all but one red/pink string and then continued the pattern down after that. for the left most side i made the f knot first that’s at the top and then i did a fb knot with the white string onto the two white strings and the other red/pink string. then i did the pink/red bf knot on just the one white string that’s next. after that i just followed the pattern. at the end of the strawberry in the green section for the last knot (f knot) i made the f knot over both the left white string and the green string and then did the chain off of that. then on the left most side i did a fb knot over both the red/pink and other white string and then started the chain. for the middle section you can just bring the four middle most strings together at the end and start the chain.
i wonder if you could braid the three chains to where they still end up in the correct position to continue to the next strawberry? i dunno but i’ve started making this but i’m definitely going to have to restart with more thread lol
i finished one strawberry and it turned out ok about the "chains" - i splitted strings into three sections (4 strings each), and do six fb knots on the right chain, six bf on the left chain, and on the middle one i alternated between fb and bf, and did 5 of them
@martwa AAAA IM SO GLAD! and yes this one is intended to have all three ‘chains’. i have a different one that’s got one middle chain only but i really can’t see how to do it. i’m so glad you figured it out!!
update y'all!! sooo, I did, in fact, figure out how to make it (I hope it was intended to have not only right and left "chain" but also middle one - thats how i understood the pattern). I did one strawberry, didn't like how it turned out, changed method, and the next one was turning out okay, until I noticed I've made a mistake, and couldn't find where. so I started over. but I will finish it!!
