Rainbow Experiment
What happens when you take a 12-string diamond pattern and level it up to 16 strings? 🤯 In this video, I’m trying out an idea that’s been stuck in my head—literally! Join me as I figure it out live, from rough concept to something surprisingly awesome. 💡 This is pure off-the-cuff creativity—real-time problem solving with a rainbow twist. If you’ve ever wondered how patterns come to life before they hit the grid, this is it. Learn how the edges come together, how we make the center pop, and why experimenting is the best way to get better. 🎨 Featuring a full rainbow palette, a few missteps, and a lot of “aha!” moments. Stick around as I talk about the process, my approach, and how you can start designing your own patterns—even without a finished idea in mind.

What happens when you just go for it without a written pattern? This 16-string rainbow bracelet with diamond-shaped gaps was a fun challenge—and turns out, a really beautiful one!
🧠 This design evolved as I worked, inspired by a past pattern but spaced out with 4-knot diamonds between each rainbow line. It spreads the colors more subtly, adds a bit of complexity with those edge zigzags, and creates a totally different look than the tightly-packed rainbows we’ve done before.
🕒 Took about 1 hour and 25 minutes to finish—not bad for a 16-string bracelet! If you’re comfortable with intermediate patterns and want something fun that flows as you go, this one’s for you.
💬 Want to see how I improvise and problem-solve while knotting? Stick around for real-time thoughts, bracelet fair stories, a quick Tiger Balm recovery, and some tips for working with color balance and layout.What happens when you just go for it without a written pattern?
