You Will Need (1 thing)

  • 6 m 2 pink and 4 dark blue Cord

Steps (12 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Step 1:

    Cut the cords about 1meters for each color. You need at least 6 strands of cord (3 on each side). Tie them together by using an overhand knot and tape it to your work surface.

  2. 2

    Step 2:

    Starting with the outer-right cord, tie a backward knot make a ninety degree angle with the tying cord over the top of the cord you are tying it to. Note: Make the same knot twice on the adjacent cord.

  3. 3

    Step 3:

    Loop it under and back through the opening. Pull up and to the left to tighten (remember to make two knots on each cord).

  4. 4

    Step 4:

    Once you have knotted the outer right cord to the one next to it, do the same to the next cord closer to the middle.

  5. 5

    Step 5:

    Continue knotting towards the left, until the outermost cord has carried over to the middle. This is one half of the chevron pattern

  6. 6

    Step 6:

    Now pick up the outermost cord on the left side (show here in dark blue) and make a forward knot by creating a 4-shape over the 2nd cord.

  7. 7

    Step 7:

    Then loop it under and back through the opening. Don’t forget to knot twice over each cord!

  8. 8

    Step 8:

    Once you have knotted the outer left cord to the one next to it, do the same to the next cord closer to the middle.

  9. 9

    Step 9:

    Continue knotting towards the right until the outermost cord reaches the middle. Tie a forward knot with the two middle strands to connect the two halves. The first chevron row is complete! Note: If you have done everything correctly up to this point, the strands you are tying together in the middle will be the same color.
