[@jacewulf4058]

hi! there is a purpose behind DMC threads (and other embroidery flosses) being able to separate! when you are making an x-stich or an embroidery project you don’t use all the strands! normally just 2 or 3

My bracelet didn’t come out that bad!!! Thanks for the awesome tutorial! 😁

[@kerplunk2529]

it’s literally just impossible for me to make bracelets and it’s so annoying, i can’t do a simple one without messing it up :(

[@Craftanatic]

ah ha You can also undo the knots with objects such as a sewing needle or safety pin. Bracelet making takes a lot of time and practice - don’t give up! You can do it!

[@kerplunk2529]

Craftanatic thank you! i will try to undo the knots, but i think its the beginning of the bracelets that mess me up

[@Craftanatic]

ah ha The beginning really can be one of the hardest parts; the strings can easily go out of place and it may not even be noticeable. Next time you start a new bracelet, just make sure you take it slow and be aware of what knots you are making and onto what strings, and as you keep practicing you will definitely get better. :)

[@marysmith4560]

ah ha this is late and you probably got better but, the start is always a struggle for me but i just don’t worry about it anymore and i know i can’t fix it so i only worry about the longer bits. just keep working on bracelets and do the easy candy stripe and chevron and make your way up to the harder ones!

[@kerplunk2529]

mary smith i’m still also trying to work on easier methods until i get comfortable with doing harder ones with multiple strands and colors. i used to be good but when i tried to make a bracelet again i just couldn’t do it. idk if it’s my thread i’m using🤷🏼‍♀️

You did an amazing job of explaining how to do this bracelet and I'm definitely going to try it. Could you do a video on how to end it with the fishtail braid.

[@Craftanatic]

Good luck on your knotting! I would recommend looking up a video on how to achieve that because there are already so many. 🙂 I would look up “fishtail friendship bracelet” and you would follow the same structure for just making ties.

[@carolearnest614]

I'm working on it now and I am having a lot of fun it's turning out really neat it's variegated pink with black it looks cool

[@nop-bt6hm]

When i make friendship bracelets, I always get holes in between knots. Does anybody have some advice for how to fix this?

[@Craftanatic]

Kitty Kat I don’t know your full situation, but it could be possible that there is an issue with your tension, i.e. you might not be making your knots tight enough or something else.

[@nop-bt6hm]

First of all, Thanks so much for replying. I pull the knot as tight as it will go, but the bracelet never looks quite right.

[@Craftanatic]

Kitty Kat Bracelets surprisingly take a lot of practice to totally get down. Sometimes it also takes just being careful and sort of “manipulating” your strings as you make the knot so that you can put it in the exact place you want it (if that even makes sense haha).

[@nop-bt6hm]

Craftanatic thanks, i finally got the chevron looking right. Hopefully i will master this wave pattern after trying slightly less challenging patterns. Thanks for all your help!

[@avayono]

Try making a spiral or candy stripe bracelet to help with the knots 😉

ik this comment is a year old but do you happen to remember where you got it from?

[@Craftanatic]

Wal-Mart 🙂

[@lizbee726]

I bought some Chinese nylon knotting cord and whilst it was nice, it had an inconsistent thickness. Some of strands were noticeably thicker than others which were all supposed to be same thickness. I paid AUD$12 for 10 small bobbins with 10yds on each. I'm not keen on some of the floss brands as the strands often split and tangle. Thanks for your vid. Very well explained. 😁😁

[@Craftanatic]

Liz Bee That would be such a pain, I totally understand. I sometimes have problems with tangling even with the popular DMC brand!

[@vi7990]

do you have a video on square knots? if not, can you make one?

Love the tutorial, I tried to make one and it came out good so thank you! Do you have a tutorial on the bracelet you are wearing in this video or does someone know if there is a tutorial on KZbin?

[@Craftanatic]

That’s so great! I’m not sure if there is a tutorial out there but it is pretty similar to the rainbow weave which has been uploaded onto my channel-there are just extra strings and the color order is much different. I’ve been asked to make a video on that bracelet ever since I uploaded this video, though, so maybe I should finally make one. 😅

[@craftyboss5029]

How do your forward knots stay vertical, mine are always at an angle

[@Craftanatic]

Crafty Boss Do you keep your base strands laying straight when you knot onto them? Do you know with tight enough tension? There could be a few factors as to why that’s happening to you.

[@lauriannemorocutti7491]

M Junebug I don’t normally put beads in my bracelets so I haven’t tried it but I believe you could definitely do that with this pattern! I think smaller beads would work really well :)

[@leximarsh3913]

I don’t understand how to make the colors change. Mine just stays two of the same colors the whole time not looking as cool

[@Craftanatic]

The original bracelet calls for just two colors (and I don’t personally know how to really seamlessly add extra colors). One of my two colors I used is variegated thread so the whole skein will change colors.

[@sophsocool_]

For the pink bracelet like the example one how did you make the pink part four different colors

[@Craftanatic]

I mentioned it like 25 seconds into the video, it’s variegated embroidery thread

[@avery1235]

when making a forward knot i tend to cross the string under and then go over the base string, my chevrons always work out fine, but is this wrong? will it affect this bracelet?

[@Craftanatic]

Avery 123 I think I’ve actually seen a few people knot like this. If that method works for you and your bracelets still look the same, then I don’t see anything wrong with doing it!

Could you make a video on how to make a simple loop and then start this bracelet? Thank you!

[@Craftanatic]

I can consider it at least! But for now I can suggest maybe checking out Masha Knot’s loops for alphas (it’d work the same way for this pattern) and attempting that. It’d look pretty neat with this pattern I think!

...are those your real nails?! How do you do these bracelets with NAILS that gorgeous?!?! Gaahh!! I can't handle it! I chomp those suckers down so fast they always get hung up on things lol Anyhoo about this bracelet in particular- is there a way to do to is pattern without using one SUPER long string to weave back& forth the whooole way down?!

[@Craftanatic]

Oh, thank you for the kind words haha! Gel polish really aids in keeping my nails long! Once they’re naked and I try and do something, they’ll start breaking right away. 😅 They’re usually pretty healthy but they’re also not the most strong. Otherwise they don’t really bother me at all while knotting. 🙂 I imagine you could bring in colors just like you would with normal alphas, but because of how the leading strings kinda hang out on the edges, it would be really tough to have a clean transition. You could possibly bring in a new color somewhere in the middle? Though, I’m not sure how that’d look. I haven’t really experimented much with this pattern!

•T i r e d R o s e y• Are you pulling your strings too tight when you’re knotting? That’s a common problem people have with snapping.

[@savannahv6185]

I definitely find that the thread that twists doesnt make knots as nice as the one that's "soft".

[@savannahv6185]

@@Craftanatic yeah same, my sister and I started with the cheaper bulk pack and I always wondered why the heck my knots didnt look as nice as the knots on pinterest, then I realised the twisting versus the...not twisting. It's crazy how big of a difference it makes, to me at least.

Are you talking about the green bracelet with the orange-y strings? I’ve only seen this pattern use the two outer left and right colors to be visible. I guess you could include the third color somehow but I’m not sure what the outcome would look like
