Celtic Square Knot



Description: The Celtic Square Knot comes from a symbol popular with Celtic artisans, representing the creation of the universe. On paper, it would have a very geometric design. As a knot, it’s highly decorative and relatively easy to make. You could use this knot to make Macramé jewelry. I’ve seen it used in combination with Celtic Button Knots to make very attractive necklaces. You could also substitute this knot in any projects that call for Square Knots. You can click on the images and a larger photo will come up in a new window. Step 1: To practice, obtain approx. 36 inches of cord. If using twisted cord as I did, apply tape or glue to the ends so they don't unravel.

			Step 2: Make a counter-clockwise loop with the cord on the left. Pass the end under the tail as you make the loop. Secure it with tape or pins.

			Step 3: Take the right end of the cord, and bring it through the loop,heading right to left. End by going over the tail of the left cord.

			Step 4: Direct the cord under the tail. Alternate over and under the coils as you head back to the upper right side.

			Step 5: Pass the end of the cord through the loop in the right lower part of the knot. Make sure you go through the space from below.
