Alpha bracelet letters

Using these alpha bracelets letters

Each character shows its knot count and the bracelet width it needs. To set a whole name with even spacing, use the friendship bracelet letter generator, which writes out every row for you.

Alpha bracelets are knotted over a set of vertical base strings, one for each knot across, so narrower fonts mean fewer strings to manage.

Tips before you start

For a name that runs along the bracelet, use the Sideways layout in the text tool: letters are rotated so they read as you look at the bracelet on a wrist. Letters in the Basic font need a bracelet 9 knots wide with padding; Tiny fits a slim 7-knot band.

Alpha knots are a little taller than they are wide, and the charts here are drawn to that shape, so letters look as they will on the band. Leave two rows of background between letters when the bracelet is sideways — the gap keeps neighbouring letters from merging when the knots tighten.
