Bracelets rolling? by MandaMae 9 years ago

Hey guys!(:

Every time I make a "normal" bracelet with more than 8 strings, they roll up, all the way around. I've tried making the knots a little farther from the end of the bracelet, since that's where it was starting. But, nothing is working....anyone know why this is happening or how to prevent it?

Thanks!

Most likely you're not knotting tight enough.
It can also depend on the pattern itself, forwardbackward- and backwardforward-knots are always less tight than plain forward or backward knots. If you have both of them in one pattern, especially if there are several fb- and bf-knots close together, it's hard to keep the bracelet straight.
Try to knot them as tight as you can. Even tension throughout the bracelet will keep it more straight.

Oh! It seemed to me that the ends being so tight is why it was rolling, never would have thought it was the other way around. xD

Thanks so much! I'll try it(:
I made two different patterns with the same number of strings and both were "plaid", one rolled and one didn't. Ugh. -_-
