    I've decided to make my brother an alpha bracelet with no prior bracelet making experience. I dunno why, challenging myself? So anyway, it's a pattern with 25 strings and I decided to give it this teardrop loop, and while I definitely made some mistakes and had to undo like, 20 knots, it still looks pretty decent and my mom says mine looks just like the video 😂😂 so it was easy enough to follow. Thank you! X

    "Count your strings multiple times"
    LMAO the first time I made an alpha I made this exact mistake and realized I was missing a string! Such an obvious but essential advice!

  • @baileya5500

    I've been considering making an alpha bracelet lately (as a way to use up my variegated thread) and when I've looked at pictures of them and seen them with the double tapered ends like this I thought it was the technique you showed in your alpha triangle ends video. I'm so glad this video came out before i started an alpha because while I think that technique could still work, I like this one a lot more. thanks for sharing this with us!

    What about when you have an even number but it splits into two odd numbers (for example 18 splits into 9 and 9). Then each side is odd.

    • @olivia-rk9ce
      @olivia-rk9ce 4 роки тому +16

      I’m having this exact problem

    • @emilyateapancake
      @emilyateapancake 4 роки тому +26

      I just came across this exact problem. What I did was in each split of 9, i separated them into 4 & 5. The first time I leave out 2 strings (8:27), i only do it on the side with 5. At the end, I added one knot where there was a bit of space. The triangle is not as perfect as if it was even and there are some holes but it works if you've already started this and don't want to untie everything. Hope this helps!

    • @gilliana3840
      @gilliana3840 4 роки тому +2

      Jenna Ostroff I ran into this problem I couldn’t really figure anything out so I just modified the pattern. If that’s not a option for what you’re trying you might want to consider a different beginning

    @kristinareichl8516 4 роки тому +1

    This is beautiful! If the holes at the barrier between the normal pattern and alpha pattern bother you, I suggest that you make the loop doing triangle ends on both sides! But either method is really pretty! The holes don bother me when I do it :)

    Hi, how do you make this loop in one colour but end with the base colour? for example #25976 in Bracelet Book, I want to make the teardrop loop in yellow to match the sun, but i want to end with black (base colour). Thank you for your clear explanations!

    • @jennaostroff6742
      @jennaostroff6742 4 роки тому

      Ok so what I do is your still going to follow this technique, but one of your base strings are going to have to be yellow while the other ones are black. Just make sure that yellow string is at the end.

    • @nurialing7678
      @nurialing7678 4 роки тому

      I'd be able to make the loop yellow using that one string, however I won't be able to make the two triangles yellow as well with just one yellow string.. am I right? like I can't imagine how to do it

    • @jennaostroff6742
      @jennaostroff6742 4 роки тому

    When you say ‘background string’ does that also mean the leading string?

    Hello I am making pattern #78526 from Friendship-bracelets.net with this teardrop loop I have red and white alternating and I need to have them land in order when I get to the last knot on each side to start the first row. Can you help me with this?

      This tutorial is for alphas, here's the tutorial for normal patterns: ua-cam.com/video/dPcpD-i2D0U/v-deo.html

    sooooo, the strings for the alpha have to be even INCLUDING the leading string? for example there are 9 base strings plus a leading string so 10 total? then it will work?
