Thanks for all the feedback. I appreciate it. I'll try again. I think my problem is that I've never really did Macrame. right now I'm battling the idea if a front of back knot is the same as a half hitch knot. 😄 I've done lots of friendship bracelets. I can't believe I didn't do these in the 70s and 80s when i was a kid. I'm 50 and having fun with it. It's not a weird pattern, it's awesome. I just couldn't figure what went on what.
@Sevymama3 Okay, row 16-24 I shaped like how you would shape triangle ends or triangle starts, you can find lots of shaped normal video tutorials if you don't know how to do that. It's also okay to leave those strings loose or even add extra beads there.
Beads can be added after row 6 on the third string from the edge on either side, after row 14 on the third string from the edge, and on the two middle strings after row 3, 8, and 16. Beads are also optional, you could use less beads or no beads.
I'm not sure what happened at row 39, it's just a repeat of row 19 so you probably already made it once. Sorry you're having so much trouble. It's possible I just create really weird patterns
Welp, I attempted this and I came out a mess. Lol. I thought I knew what I was doing, as I've done advanced bracelets for years. For example, lines 16-24 just came out long without knots, like the pic, but your pic, it looks crossed, like X's. What am I doing wrong. I wasn't putting the beads in the right spots. also, I was super confused on line 39. What string is going on what? I'm super sorry to bug you.
@Sevymama3 For bracelets with a loop you can measure a wingspan length from fingertip to fingertip with your arms spread out For bracelets with ties at both ends about from fingertip to opposite shoulder On some bracelets certain strings will have more knots and use up more string but from what I remember on this bracelet the string come out pretty even.
where do you stick the heads in? Maybe I'm just having a brain fart 😄. I would think to slide a smaller bead, for example, up in the middle section of #6 (left, right sides). But where for the middle, larger beads? in the middle of #3? But there's no string to feed it up 🤔
