Pagoda Knot |

Description: The Pagoda Knot represents the sacred architectural designs commonly seen in Asian temples and places of worship. It's a beautiful decorative knot that incorporates elements of the the Celtic Triangle Knot with weaving techniques. |

I found it in a book called "Decorative Fusion Knots", by JD Lenzen.

|
Step 1: Create the first counter-clockwise loop in the center of a 60-inch cord. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 2: Make the second counter-clockwise loop, so it rests above Loop 1 as shown. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 3: Make the third counter-clockwise loop, postioning it to the right of Loop 2. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 4: The fourth counter-clockwise loop should be positioned to the right of Loop 1, and below Loop 3. The design should look like a square.
Pass the working end (right) under the standing end (left), so they are crossed. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 5: Take the end that is now on the right, and pass it through Loop 4, from below (under - over). |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 6: Take the end that's resting on the left, and pass it through Loop 1, from above (over - under). |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 7: Flip the knot over, so Loops 1 and 4 are at the top, and the entire design is upside down.
Bring the end on the right down, so it passes over Loop 3. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 8: Take the left end, and bring it down to Loop 2. Pass under it, then weave it through Loop 3, going under - over - under the three segments. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 9: Use the right end again, and bring it under the left end, in the lower central area of the Pagoda knot. Then weave it through Loop 2, passing over - under - over the three segments. |
|
|
| |
| |
| |
 |
|
Step 10: Flip the design over. Tighten the Pagoda Knot gradually, removing the slack from the loops in the order they were made. Then ends will come out of the knot at the top. |
