Example

Example: a summer-camp bracelet “CAMP ★ 2026”, 9 knots wide and 49 rows long

Settings: text CAMP ★ 2026, letter height 5 rows, Normal letters, white on green (#15803D), a border along both edges in yellow (#FACC15), 1 knot of space around the letters, 2 blank rows at each end, vertical along the bracelet, US Letter.

  1. Width: 5 rows of letter height, then 1 knot of space and 1 border knot on each side, 9 knots. That is 9 base strings and 3 working strings, one per colour.
  2. Length: the letters, the star, the digits, the spaces between the words and the blank rows at both ends make 49 rows, 441 knots in all.
  3. The colour list counts them for you: 253 green (A), 90 white (B), 98 yellow (C).
  4. Odd rows are tied left to right with forward knots, even rows right to left with backward knots; the row list is written in that order.
Row Knots, in tying order
1 1 C, 7 A, 1 C
2 1 C, 7 A, 1 C
3 1 C, 2 A, 3 B, 2 A, 1 C
4 1 C, 1 A, 1 B, 3 A, 1 B, 1 A, 1 C
5 1 C, 1 A, 1 B, 3 A, 1 B, 1 A, 1 C
6 1 C, 7 A, 1 C
7 1 C, 1 A, 4 B, 2 A, 1 C

alpha-pattern-camp2026.pdf, three pages: the size, the strings and the colours with their knot counts, then the chart, then every row from 1 to 49. Rows 3 to 5 are the C, lying on its side along the bracelet.

How it works

  1. Type a name or word — a heart ♥ and a star ★ work too — and choose the letter height and style.
  2. Pick the colours, a border along the edges or all round, and the space around the letters.
  3. Download the PDF: the chart, the colours with knot counts and every row listed in the order you tie it.

Frequently asked questions

How many strings do I need?
One base string for each knot across, plus a working string for each colour; the PDF works it out for your pattern.
How wide will my bracelet be?
Letter height plus the space and the border: 5-row letters with 1 knot of space and a border along both edges make 9 knots across, 7-row letters 11. With no space and no border, 5-row letters are just 5 knots wide.
Can the letters stand upright instead of running along the bracelet?
Yes. Layout “Horizontal (letters upright)” turns the chart so the word reads left to right, which suits a wall hanging, a bookmark or a strip of loom beading.
Can I use it for other crafts?
Yes — the same grid works for tapestry crochet, loom beading and cross stitch lettering.
What characters can I use?
Letters A–Z and digits, accented letters written as their plain letter, and ♥ and ★.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The pattern is made in your browser.
