I am from Ecuador and I could perfectly understand the video even if I only know a little English :D Your explanation is too good and it has helped me a lot since I am a beginner in alpha patterns.Thank you very much (if something is not well understood, it is because you use a translator)

@sanjana3728 3 года назад

Alex I thought you could help me the alpha I am currently making one of the base strings snapped. So,is there any way to fix a snapped base string in an alpha ?Because I was really enjoying the pattern and then this happened.

@daphnewayendowpanicken1764 2 года назад

6:30 Mind blown! Definitely going to try this technique. On another note: Double forward knot males sense to me since I crochet as well!

@AlexInnovations 3 года назад

Thanks!

@xerinx3762 3 года назад

I made one similar the one with the sharks #22139 and it is really bumpy and not flat at all. Did I tie my knots to tight or something?..

@sloane1266 3 года назад

Not me clicking this video and watching it when im in school Edit: any really easy alpha people recommend for someone who has never made one?

@saphex217 3 года назад

#26140 on BB is a really simple heart keychain that you could try. Also #41493 is mike wazowski’s eye from monster’s inc. which was my first alpha.

@calliphoenix5425 3 года назад

I was actually going to recommend the heart one, as that was my first alpha (I was doing good and I made a one not mistake and gave up)!

@sloane1266 3 года назад

Ok thank you!

@anahitashojaei1453 3 года назад

i recommend any 2-3 color alpha with not a lot of strings or color switches!

@caitlinwilmot2006 3 года назад

What number pattern n bracelet book is this?

@RoastedMarshmelon 3 месяца назад

Hmm, I've been trying this technique for the past hour. In theory it seemed pretty simple. Now when I make the first forward knot, pass the yarn over / and under /////, and make the second fwd knot, the other color is visible behind the new color. If I pull hard, it kinda disappears... but as I keep knotting the next knots, the spot of color becomes obvious (even if I pull on that yarn behind) and it seems impossible to hide. Kinda like an extra knot. It's a mystery right now :/

@lolahennrich 3 года назад

What is the pattern never mind will check

@hannahdurham6893 3 года назад

Haven’t actually done an alpha bracelet yet, but this actually looks easier to me than a normal color switch? Lol just watched the video of how to do normal color switches

@lyall625 3 года назад

Good luck!

@creationsbyclaira 3 года назад

Early! Ya

@cori4727 3 года назад

What I struggle with is a combination of two things you showed. When you're switching colors on the edge AND you have two strings poking out. I've tried using the regular switching pulling up both strings and putting the new leading string between. (Not sure if I'm making sense.) Not sure which way I like better. I'd hoped you'd do that in this vid! Lol

@AlexInnovations 3 года назад

Try just switching using the technique I showed on the edge; try to keep the first string held back, and then use the second string (the most recent one) to switch with the upcoming string. I did not think about this scenario 😂

@JotatoTot 3 года назад

So im doing a pattern on bb following the pattern their are couple times were the row finishes with one color and the next row starts with a different color. any tips

@AlexInnovations 3 года назад

Try ending the first row using the straightedge technique and then beginning the next row with the straightedge technique with your new color :) I have a portion in my 6 Alpha Tips and Tricks video that shows how to use the straightedge technique! :)

@JotatoTot 3 года назад

@@AlexInnovations thanks for the advise

@idontknow.8930 3 года назад

This is very helpful but the problem is I won’t remember to do this every knot

@AlexInnovations 3 года назад

it might seem harder at first, but once you do it a few times it’s really easy to remember! I end up “defaulting” to this technique due to how many times i’ve repeated it :)

@amberw8440 3 года назад

Ummmm I thought the flat alpha technique was the normal way of doing it😂😂 and I was like oh.... I learned to do alphas that way lol but Alex is always right sooooo

@AlexInnovations 3 года назад

Haha both ways are correct, it's just a matter of preference! :)
