🧵🔥 Designing a Stunning Gradient Bracelet with Dotted Details! 🎨✨

Hey everyone, it’s Kevin (aka AWOL), and this February, I’ve been taking a single pattern and evolving it—from super simple to intermediate—and now we’re stepping up the challenge again! 🚀 Today’s design keeps the dotted effect but adds a bold gradient fading from dark to light, making for a beautiful, eye-catching bracelet!

💡 What you’ll see in this video:
✔️ The design process: from basic to more advanced patterns
✔️ Choosing colors (why I went with a white background instead of black!)
✔️ How copy & paste shortcuts make pattern creation way faster
✔️ Predicting string usage & difficulty level for the final bracelet

I cannot wait to see how this one turns out when I start knotting! If you love this design and want to try your own color combo, share it in our Discord community—I’d love to see your take on it! 👇

Hey everyone, it’s Kevin (aka AWOL), and my bracelet series keeps growing! 😆 What started as one simple idea has now evolved into multiple variations, and I’m already thinking about the next one! This design features a stunning gradient from deep red to pink with white dotted details—and halfway through, I realized it totally looks like a strawberry! 🍓 If I had planned ahead, I might’ve leaned into that even more!

💡 In this video:
✔️ Designing a zigzag-based gradient bracelet
✔️ The best way to keep consistent knotting tension 🏗️
✔️ Why this pattern is more advanced (but still beginner-friendly with practice!)
✔️ How I track rows & avoid mistakes while knotting 🧐
✔️ The unexpected texture difference on the back of the bracelet

⏳ Time to make: ~84 minutes (slightly longer, but worth it!)

⚡ Challenge for YOU: Try this pattern with different colors! What about shades of blue? Or leaning into the strawberry theme with green edges? If you try it, share your version in Discord—I’d love to see it! 👇
