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.
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.
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).
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.
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
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.
Step 7: Then loop it under and back through the opening. Don’t forget to knot twice over each cord!
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.
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.
Step 10: Continue this pattern until reach your desired length.
Step 11: Finish it with an overhand knot.
Step 12: Done it!
