5 Thread the two cords behind the wreath and then around and into the loop under the wreath and tighten.

16 Use three cords for one leaf. Double each cord and secure them with, for example, a pin in cardboard.

20 Make a double half hitch knot with the other end of cord no. 2 on the other side of the middle of cord no. 1.

33 Hold cord no. 6 tight towards the left and tie a lark’s head knot around it with cord no. 4 and cord no. 5.

34 Hold cord no. 1 tightly towards the right and tie a double half hitch knot around it with cords no. 2 and 3.

37 Tie a double half hitch knot around cord no. 6 with cord no. 5. Also tie a double half hitch knot around cords 5 and 6 with cord no. 4.

38 Repeat with cord no. 1, with cord no. 2 being tied around. Bundle together cords no. 1 and 2 and tie a double half hitch knot around it with cord no. 3.

54 Now pull the two middle cords through the loop at the top, making sure that the front of the knot is facing outwards. Tighten the loop by pulling the cords.

55 Double 80 cm of cord around the middle of the large berry and secure it. You need a 120 cm long cord for knotting, which is then doubled.

62 Thread the cords through the loop at the top, then turn the front of the knot so that it faces outwards.

64 Thread the cord on the two leaves and two large berries through the wreath from the back and secure with knots.
