Ocean Plait Mat

This is perfect as a hot pad or a tablemat—either way, it’s definitely great
eye candy!

Instructions:

1. With two long loops, create an overhand knot.
2. Then, twist each of the loops and have them cross over each other.
3. Now, get the short end and thread it across the knot so you could

have the pattern locked.
