Description: The Chinese Step
Knot is also known as the Triple
Connection Knot. The design resembles
a bead when completed.
It can be tied anywhere on a cord, and is often
placed near one end. It can be used in
both preparation and finishing steps.
This Chinese Macrame knot works best if the
cord material is more than 2mm thick, or it
doesnt show up well. Parachute cord was used in
the example shown.
This is a great knot for slippery materials like
Satin, Silk, or Nylon. It has a very strong
hold and does not untie easily. |

The Step knot
is a variation of the Stevedore
Knot.
It has only two loops, so is much
smaller.

To practice, you need one cord, at least 15
inches long.
Secure one end to your board on the right,
arranged horizontally. |

loop, passing the working end under
the secured end.
Secure the cord at the crossing point.

| |
|
| |
|
|
Step
2: Wrap the working end snugly
around the secured end 3 - 5 times.
Make sure the coils don't overlap. |
|

|
|
Step
3: Pass the working end
through the loop from the top, which is
over
- under.
|
|

Step

on the secured

of the loop.
Then pull on both ends until the knot
is firm.
