Chinese Step Knot

Chinese Step Knot



Description: The Chinese Step Knot, also known as the Triple Connection Knot, is a decorative knot that resembles a bead when completed. This Macrame knot works best if the cord material is more than 4mm in diameter, otherwise it doesn’t show up well. It looks great if using Satin Rattail Cord, which has a beautiful sheen and is very soft and luxurious. You can click on the images, and larger pictures will show up in a new window.

			Step 1: Obtain a strand of cord, at least 12 inches long to practice. Use the right end, and make a clockwise loop around 1 or more fingers, so the cord passes over itself on the left.

			Step 2: Make another loop, so it rests just to the left of the first loop. You’re essentially “wrapping” one part of the cord around the other. Step 3: Repeat step 2.

			Step 4: Slide the design off your fingers. Pass the end through the center of the loop, heading into it from the top. Tighten the knot by pulling the slack out gradually.
