Everything For Beginners
If you are a beginner, there are a few things to know before you get started.1. The 4 basic knots.
To make any friendship bracelet, you'll need to know the 4 basic knots. They appear in all of the bracelets. They are the Foward Knot, Backward Knot, Foward Backward Knot and the Backward Foward Knot. If you look for tutorials there are some.
2. What to use for making bracelets
For every bracelet on this site, you need to use string. You can buy it at a local craft store.
3. How to read patterns
If you look, there are a bunch of diagrams showing you how to make the bracelet. The things you need to know are you always work in rows and know the symbols for the knots. There is a great tutorial by zyelvester(I hope i spelled that right) that shows you how to do that.
4. The Generator
The generator is an awesome tool that lets you create your own patterns and learn how to make them. There are 3 types of generators:
Normal Pattern Generator
Generator 2.1
Alpha Generator BETA
For the normal pattern generator, you type in the amount of information it requires about the pattern like how many rows, knots, colors and so on. Then you click generate and you can see your pattern. For generator 2.1, you can change the knots and see how your bracelet turns out as you go. Click the top of the string to change the color and click the knots to change them. The alpha generaor lets you create alpha patterns. You create the shape of the pattern you want with the code for your color you want.
Patterns
There are 2 types of patterns: Regular and Alpha. Both of them are super easy to make and generate. The difference between these two patterns is that they have different knots and you learn how to make them a different way. There will be how to make patterns and alphas ASAP.
Hope this helps!
