As a beginner, this video is by far the easiest to follow. Others have done something similar but you do a nice job explaining how to transition from the loop to the pattern being made, which has had me confused.
I love your video! You always make it so easy and simple to follow. Finally I can make a bracelet with that beginning!! Please make a tutorial of the teardrop loop
Thank you! I have a few videos on the teardrop loop, like this one th-cam.com/video/bya2GxyL6Pg/w-d-xo.html Or are you wanting a specific pattern on how to convert a pattern to work as a teardrop?
I really liked your tutorial on this. You could just start segment knotting the center portion of the triangle too instead of knotting each horizontal row though.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm not sure what you mean by that? But if you mean working to a chevron point, I do usually convert patterns to work that way offline, but when doing videos people seemed to find it confusing because they couldn't just work the pattern row by row as it was shown on sites like friendship-bracelets.net or braceletbook. I have some tutorials where I do both techniques, but tend to just work the traditional style if I'm referring back to a pattern I found online. I also did a follow on to convert to the chevron point for those who prefer to do it that way like I do.
@@objeXionable yeah I was basically saying that after you knot those triangle ends to start you can just start making the bracelet like normal starting from the tip of the triangle. Yeah i actually figured that out before how to knot any bracelet pattern with chevron rows instead of horizontal rows. But its tough on some patterns for me when you have alot of forward- backward and backward-forward knots in the rows though.
@@johncook3689 I may have done that before but did this one too for people who like working horizontal rows. I do prefer patterns that can be worked as chevrons because I think they seem neater when done that way, but some of them don't work as well, I agree!
@@objeXionable Yeah I am actually making first thin bracelet with beginning loop and triangle ends start. But I think that i messed up at the start though??
So you would do the first 5 rows in the center then start doing the pattern as usual? I've been trying to do the loops and have it still come our straight and I'm constantly getting this huge gap in the middle strings its driving me crazy!
The point you return to the full pattern as normal depends how many threads are in the pattern you are converting. It can sometimes help to print it out or draw the pattern on some paper and then cross out each row as you go along to make sure you don't accidentally skip any knots. I don't know if this would help you but I sometimes do this for bigger patterns because it's so easy to lose your place! I think some people put them on their clipboard underneath their work to follow along (although that won't help if you don't use a clipboard).

That's great, I'm glad it helped explain the technique for you.
I used lines and arrows to mark the pattern I'm following and the beginning of the bracelet turned out great. And it's all because of that video.
I agree 100% with this! I always wondered how this was done! I'm going to have a go at this style!
Hope it turns out how you want it!

@@johncook3689 can you unpick or just alter and have a slightly incorrect beginning. I do that sometimes if I've gone too far to unknot it all...
Are you going to do a video for teardrop loops as well?
Yes I am planning to do a teardrop version.
