Planning a Knotty Masterpiece: Designing My Next Asymmetrical Knot Bag (8 Colors, Endless Options!)
Welcome back, friends! Kevin here (aka AWOL), and today’s video is a bit longer—but if you’re into pattern planning, bag builds, and deep-dive crafting strategy, you’re going to love this one.
I’m walking you through the setup for my next big project: an asymmetrical knot bag using 8 bold colors and 32 strings. It’s a spiritual sibling to the 16-color knot bag I showcased at the hobby fair and livestreams, but this time, it’s fewer colors, more loops, and a whole lot of brain-twisting design logic.
🧵 What’s inside:
The process of building a new template from scratch
How four different segments can interchange and align perfectly
Why the diamonds shift visually but share the same underlying string logic
Template hacks that reduce lag and frustration
BONUS: An unexpected realization about how string order creates design variation 🎉
If you’ve ever wanted to design your own bracelet, knot bag, or modular pattern, this video will give you a peek into how the puzzle pieces come together. Even if you don’t make this exact project, you’ll walk away with some creative tools!
