Stevedore Knot
|

|
| |
| Description:
The Stevedore Knot is similar to the single Figure 8 Knot, in the way
it’s designed. That’s why it is sometimes called
a Double Figure Eight. It’s primary
purpose as a Macramé knot is to finish off a project.
So it is usually tied near the end of a cord. But you could
use it wherever a tight, sturdy knot is needed, since it doesn’t
untie easily. |

| |
| Step 1:
Obtain one strand of cord, at least 12 inches long to practice
this decorative knot. |
| |
| |
|
|
Step
2: Make a counter-clockwise loop approximately
4 inches from one end of the cord. Pass the end over itself
on the left, with the curved portion on the right. |
|
| |
| |
|
|
Step
3: Use the long portion, and wrap it around the
short “tail” of the cord. |
|
| |
| |
|
|
Step
4: Wrap it around again, then pass it through the
loop from the top. |
|
| |
| Step 5:
Tighten the knot by pulling on the longer portion of the cord.
You may have to help it along a bit, by pushing the loops,
especially if the cord is rough in texture. When used in an
actual pattern, you would cut off the tail after applying
a touch of glue. |
