How to do it

1 Cut cords: 1 x 2 m and 2 x 50 cm.
2 Secure the two 50 cm cords with clips or tape. Start by knotting 8 cm from the end of the cord. Double the 2 m cord behind the two 50 cm cords and make a square knot around it.
3 Hold the first 50 cm cord and make a double half hitch knot around it with the first 1 m cord. Tighten the knot with the cord to the right.
4 Tighten two knots to the right.
5 Make a double half hitch knot where the knot and cord are tightened to the left.
6 Tighten the second knot to the left.
7 Hold the 50 cm cord 2 taut. Tie a double half hitch knot around it and tighten to the left.
8 Tighten the second knot to the left.
9 Tie a knot and tighten it to the right.
10 Tighten the second knot to the right.
11 With cord 1, make a double half hitch knot around the 50 cm cord 2.
12 Repeat steps 3-11.
13 Once you have knotted 22 oval patterns – or reached the desired length – finish with a square knot.
14 The finished length of the knotted bracelet is 18 cm.
15 Place a crimp cover around the first and last knot and squeeze it.
16 Cut off the ends.
17 Make the closure by tying a knot with the two cords from one end around the two cords from the other end of the bracelet.
18 Attach crimp beads to the ends and squeeze them together. Tip: Apply a little glue to the ends beforehand to prevent the cord from splitting.
