Description:
The Celtic Square Knot is a symbol popular with
Celtic artists, representing the creation of the universe. It's also called the "Box Knot", since it is often carved on the top of handcrafted boxes, like the one shown above.
You could use this decorative knot to make Macramé jewelry, and any pattern that requires a knot made with one strand.
It's been used in combination with Celtic
Button Knots to make very attractive necklaces.

Step 1: Make a loop in the center of a 36-inch cord, so the right end rests under the left. |
|
| |
| |
| |
|
|
Step
2: Use the left end to make a counter-clockwise loop, so it rests below Loop 1. The end should pass under both portions of the first loop. |
|
| |
| |
| |
|
|
Step
3: Now take the right end, and weave it through loop 1, from left to right. Go over - under - over the three segments, as shown.
This will create a third loop, on the lower left side of the Celtic Square Knot.

Step
4: Direct the right end down to the crook of Loop 2, which is the curved portion. Pass it into the space from below (under - over). |
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 5: Take the left end and bring it down to the third space, which is directly across from the second one. Pass it into the space from the top (over-under). |
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 6: Tighten the knot by pulling on the ends. Adjust the loops so that the one at the top is larger than the box shaped area.
This knot looks best if space is left between the segments, so you can see the design. |
