Slipknot

| Description:
The Slipknot is very easy to tie, and it's sometimes referred
to as the Overhand Noose. It’s been used for many centuries,
but for practical purposes rather than decorative. It’s
one of several connection knots used in Macrame. I use it
to attach buttons and pendants. To see an interesting application
for the use of this technique, see My
Butterfly Bookmark.

Step
1: Take a piece of cord in both hands and make
an Overhand Knot, but do not tighten it. |
|
| |
| |
|
|
Step 2:
Make a loop with the leftover cord on the right. Pass the
end of this cord through the center of the knot made in
step 1.
Step 3: Holding both ends
in your left hand, and the loop in your right, pull evenly
to tighten. |
|
| |
| One of
the cords will slide easily, so you can adjust the size of
the loop as needed. Once all adjustments are made, pull on
both ends and the loop to form a hard, tight knot.
Tip: If you are linking two cords together,
make the loop big enough to pass a second cord through.
Don’t make it too large, though, or the link will
be too loose.
