Description: The Wrapped Ring, also called an O-Ring, is a unique variation of the Barrel Knot. It makes a great clasp for bracelets and necklaces.
This strong decorative knot is easy to tie and can be used at the top of items like wind chimes, and light weight plant hangers. It's best to make it first, then you can use the ends for the other knots. |

I found it in a book called "Decorative Fusion Knots" by J. D. Lenzen.

Step 1: Tie an Overhand Knot in the center of a 60-inch cord. Make sure the right portion passes over the left, to create the loop. The crossing point should be at the bottom.
Make the loop the size you want the Barrel Ring to be when it is finished. |

Step 2: Use the right end to wrap the right half of the loop. Make sure the wraps are snug and close together. End the wrapping at the top of the loop. |

Step 3: Use the left end to wrap the left half of the loop. |

Step 4: Push the coils close together to tighten and adjust the loop. If necessary, add a few more wraps with each end. Tie a knot to secure the ends. You can use an Overhand knot, or a Square Knot.
Note that I flipped the Wrapped Ring so the final knot is at the bottom, since I used it as a clasp. |
