River Knot

Description: The River Knot
represents the sun rising over a rippling river.
It starts out with the Josephine knot,
which is a historical knot often used to form
other types of decorative knots.
You could use this design as the focal point
for a Macrame bracelet or belt, since the ends
come out at the sides.
A wide pendant can also be made with this
knot. You would finish off the ends and
then add a new cord for the necklace (at the
top).
The material used in the example is Paracord,
which needs to be prepared and finished by
melting the tips with a flame.

Step 1: Secure the
center of a 60-inch cord to your board.
Use the left
half to make a counter-clockwise
loop, passing under
to form the crossing point.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Bring the right
half down, over the
middle of the first loop.
Bring it back up moving clockwise.
Pass it under
the left end, to complete loop
2.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
|
To make loop
3, weave the right
end clockwise
through loops 1 and 2 over
- under- over - under.
Balance the three loops, but don't
tighten.
|
|
|
|
| |
 |
|
Step 2: Move the
end
on the right
(near loop 1), to
make loop
4.
Weave
under
- under - over
the three segments of loop
1, rotating
counter-clockwise.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 3: Make loop
5 using the end on the left
(next to
loop 3).
Pass it
over
- over - under
the three segments, rotating clockwise.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 4: Push loop
4 to the right,
so there is space between it and loop 2.
Weave the left
end through the middle of loop
1, passing under
- over - under the three
segments.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 5: Bring the left
end
back down and to the right.
Weave it through loop
4, under
- over - under the three
segments.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 6: Push loop
5 to the left
to create a space between it and loop 2.
Pass the right
end under
the left at the bottom
of the River knot.
Weave it over
- under - over the three
segments of
loop 3,
heading towards the top.
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
|
Step 7: Curve the
right end back down and to the
left.
Weave it over
- under - over the three
segments at Loop
5.

|

|
Step
8: Tighten the River Knot
gradually, removing the slack from the
loops in
the order they were made.
Secure the ends to the back or use them to
make other knots. |
