So we're going to start with four strings of hemp(ALOT OF HEMP. About 60in or more.) and a cord. For the cord think of a material like string, just a little more stiff.
I bet you can find some at a craft store.Start making basic square knots, however you're going to use two strings on each side and only the cord is in the middle.
aha the picture explains it a bit. -

depending on how big you want your peace sign, make knots only for half of the circle.

It's going to get tricky.
but basically you get three strings about 24in. long each. fold them in half over the cord. Tie a knot.
sorry if this is confusing. :3

Here is a close-up of the last step so you can see what I did better.

act like that knot is a bead.
keep doing square knots under it and then it should look like this.**only keep knotting untill you get the same length as before the knot.
You DO NOT want an uneven circle.

CLOSEUP!
Aha so those strings hanging down you want to start making square knots.
*Only make about 10 knots if they are small. 5 is they are big. Then add a SMALL bead of your choosing.

So here's mine 10 knots and a bead later. keep knotting under the bead. ONLY make like 5 knots or less.
Please aha. You can screw it all uo if it's too long. you can always fix it if it's too short.Now you need 3 more strings about 24inches long, folded in half and tied above the bead.
start making square knots..only about 9 or so.

8
add a bead (i used the gold one) and then make about 5 more knots.
-

Do the same thing but facing the other side. add another bead ( i used yellow. you can barely see it.)

aha now start tying things into the shape of a peace sign. try and make your knots look neat.

Make sure your knots are secure, you might ant to use a little hot glue.
Cut the extra strings off, add a sring to go around your neck and you're done.
Peace Love Hemp.
