Q: I'm confused. How can I tell the forward from the backward? What about the crooked arrows? Do you do both directions for the same knot?

A: Yes, mixed knots can have two different knots.

To follow the grids remember this:

■Down to the right = Forward
■Down to the left = Backward

The "crooked" ones are the same idea.
Down to the right is forward...
Down to the left is backward.

■ Starts going down to the right and then switches left = forward backward.
■ Starts going down to the left and then switches right = backward forward.

■ ■ ■ The Friendship-Bracelet.Net Pattern Generator ■ ■ ■
http://friendship-bracelets.net/generate.php

Use the "Normal Pattern" generator for basic patterns
and the "Alphabet Pattern" generator for alpha patterns.

HINT: On friendship-bracelets.net's pattern generator you need to make 'repeating' patterns if you want to save it to the site. This means it has to be a seamless/endless/repeating pattern.

Basically, you need the string colors at the very top to match the string colors at the very bottom.

Match as in, if you have it set up as blue/purple/green as the order at the start of the pattern it can't be purple/blue/green at the bottom. The placement of the colors NEED to match on the top and bottom of the pattern! It won't work save otherwise!

◘ PRO-TIP: If you like a pattern that you just made and it is not saving to the site because it isn't a repeating pattern then just hit "Print Screen" and open up windows paint or some other photo editing software- click "paste" in the picture editing program and you SHOULD have a screen shot of your entire computer screen. Now just crop the pattern only and hit save- now you'll have saved the pattern to your computer. I do this all the time when I don't want to submit my work but still save it- repeating pattern or not!

Could you make pattern A29258. Thanks

[BeyondBracelets]

@aslgirl40 I have alpha tutorials on the basics... I can't do the full pattern requests on cam. They take way too long to make. If you learn the basics then you can make any alpha so long as you have the pattern to follow or can make a pattern.

Hi, I have a question. Lately I'm making bracelet with pattern from friendship bracelet. net. But they don't say how longer the strings do I need. When I'm making basic bracelet without pattern, I fix 65 inch to 70 inch( and hold to half like you do )

When I want to make wide bracelet like use 20 to 30 strings bracelet, how much longer do I need? My wrist size is about 15 to 16cm.

So sorry if I had wrong in my English. I'm not native speaker(T_T)

[BeyondBracelets]

@CASHwoKURE 15 strings is 65 inches about.

If you add 5 strings to 15 (20 strings) make it 5 more inches over 65 (70 inches) etc.

For every extra 5 strings I'd say add 4-5 extra inches.

subtitutle pls spanish xD

[BeyondBracelets]

@Mr420Mus1c I don't speak Spanish or know anyone fluent that would be willing to help unfortunately. =/

[CASHwoKURE]

Thank you very much BeyondBracelet!!!

[BeyondBracelets]

@Waterhorse300 Same way you would read them across. Lay a piece of paper down at an angle and you should be able to see what needs to be done for each diagonal row. (Though I'm not sure why you would need to do that, it's probably easier to do them in horizontal rows for this sort of pattern.)

[Waterhorse300]

How do you read them at a diagonal?
