Designing
How do I make a bracelet?
Pick a tab at the top: Beginner, Pattern, Name, Christmas or Halloween. Choose a pattern or type a word, then pick your colours. The bracelet and its knot chart change as you go. Tap any knot on the chart to change it.
What thread do I need?
Any 6-strand embroidery floss. Each colour in Knotty Sage shows its DMC number, so you can buy the same shade. Most bracelets need 4 to 8 strings, each about 80 cm long. The printed pattern lists exactly what to buy.
Are my designs saved?
Your latest design is saved on your device, so it's there next time. To keep a design for good, save it as a PDF pattern.
Knotting along
How does Start knotting work?
Press Start knotting. It shows how to set up your strings first, then one row at a time. Tap Tied it after each knot and a moving picture shows the next one. It remembers where you stopped, and the screen stays on while you knot.
Printing and saving patterns
How do I print a pattern on my iPhone or iPad?
Press Print or save PDF. The print screen opens. Choose your printer and tap Print. Your printer needs AirPrint, which most home printers have.
How do I save a pattern as a PDF?
Press Print or save PDF. On the print screen, tap the Share button at the top, then Save to Files. On a computer, choose Save as PDF as the printer.
