HELP! My alpha pattern got messed up! by niko3 1 year ago

Send PM
I'm making a cub's alpha pattern and every time I start using my letter color the knots start knotting really far away from where they should be leaving this open gap and ruining my pattern!

You need to pull your white string to the northwest or northeast while tying your knots, so you create a sort of "tube" with your letter knots. For this row, you'll need to pull your string up to the northwest.

Undo the knots and then don't have such a firm grip on the background string when you are tying:) Tie the letter string knots tightly:)

That seems to work right away, but once i get to about 4 or 5 strings of my letter string it starts doing that again!!

That's what is happening to me also thanks for the advice I was kinda getting worried that I messed up the whole thing!
