Celtic Triangle Knot

Description:
The Celtic Triangle Knot is based on the Triquetra Symbol, which
is found in many European designs. It symbolizes a variety
of concepts, such as body, mind and spirit. It's also called the Trinity Knot, representing the three members of the Godhead. It makes a great pair of designer earrings, particularly if made with Satin, Paracord, or Leather.

Step 1:
Make a counter-clockwise loop in the center of a 36-inch cord. The right portion should pass over the left to form the crossing point.
If using Leather or Satin cord, make sure you use the Cross Pin Technique to secure the loops. |

|
Step 2: Take the end that is now on your right, and make a counter-clockwise loop. It should rest below and to the right of Loop 1 at the top.
Take the other end and make a clockwise loop, directly across. Make sure you pass the end under to form the crossing point. |
|
| |
| |
| Cross the left end over the right, below the two loops you just made. This crossing point should line up with the center of Loop 1. |
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 3: Pass the end that is now on the right, through Loop 2 (right), from below (under - over). |
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 4: Pass the same end under both sides of Loop 1, as you bring it towards the left upper area of the Celtic Triangle Knot. |
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 5: Now take the other end, on the left, and pass it through Loop 3, from above (over - under). |
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 6: Still using the left end, weave it through the three segments in Loop 1, over - under - over. |

|
Tighten the Celtic Triangle Knot gradually. The bottom loops should be small and the top one larger. I left the knot loose so you could see the design, so you should tighten it more than I did. |
