The three-lobed
compound Cloverleaf
Knot with flat red cord.
3 – returning u, u, u, u, u, u, u, then o to finish

the second loop.

This third compound Cloverleaf Knot is built

around both parts instead of inserting through, as
in the standard Cloverleaf. Notice the more complex
centre generated by this knot.

o, u, and then the second o, u. move o,o, the
1 starting with a bent loop, o, o to the upper left…
third to pass u, o the first loop ear, then o, o,
wrap another loop around
it. t-pins definitely help!

2 insert the working end through the first loop o, 5 – returning u, u, u, u, o, u, u, u, u, o, u, o to

u, then o, o, o, o, o, o…
finish. the third loop is thereby completed.
