Jewellery School. An Adjustable Knot

1 Arrange the two long ends parallel and tie an adjustable knot on each side. Make a loop with one end of the cord and twist this end around itself and the other cord three to five times.

2 Now push the end of this cord through the loops, as well as through the first loop.

3 Now pull the end of the cord and the loops will lie flat and tight around the two cords.

4 Cut the end of the cord off close to the knot. Glue it onto the loops. Take care not to glue it onto the cord on which is intended to slide.

5 Double over the cord so that it lies parallel with the “loop” at one end and the cord ends at the other. Feed one cord end underneath the other – then feed the same cord end through the loop.

6 Now feed the same cord end underneath the crossing and up before feeding it down into the loop on the left. Now pull the knot.

7 Turn the bracelet/necklace so that it is mirror imaged and make another single adjustable knot in the other end. Trim the ends very close to the knots.
