LMAOO I posted complaining about my ties being too long but I forgot to post the photo of the bracelet oooops

My mother’s day present for my mom! She loves it :)

So I’m following this pattern right now, and I noticed that some of the same colored string knots have a forward-backward knot instead of a forward knot. I’m wondering if there’s any specific reason why they’d put that? Like all the patterns I’ve followed before just have a forward knot when the strings are the same color. I do whatever kind of knot I feel like in that moment because it’s the same color so I don’t think it matters. But this pattern has a forward backward knot for some of them (circled in green) but some are forwards (circled in red).

Does anyone know why that matters? Or do you think it’s only like that so whoever submitted the pattern could change 1 knot direction and reupload an identical pattern to one that already exists? Just wondering. I’m going to do forward-backward knots because that’s what it says but I definitely don’t have to right? I’m not someone who cares about what the back looks like personally but I just want to make sure it won’t affect the front in any way by doing a forward knot instead?

I was a little unsure of the colors at first because I cut the strings before adding a variation to see what it looked like, but I ended up loving the colors a lot! This was a fun one and I finished it in 2 days. (Also ignore that I only figured out how to make it straight halfway through lol)
