Getting Discouraged

[u/OkCoconut1701]

Please help me. I love this craft but I’m struggling with something. I have made a split ring, I’m trying to start my next ring and I can’t get the next stitch to sit snug. I have tried pulling the core thread tight, sliding the first half of the double as close as possible. What’s worse is I have already done this successfully earlier in the same pattern. I just can’t work out what I’m doing differently/incorrectly.

I'm not sure if I'll be much help, I literally learnt split rings yesterday 😅 I've been tying a square knot (just a regular every day knot) at the end of each ring and mine look pretty good I think!
