FIGURE-EIGHT
KNOTS IN SERIES

Making a number of these
knots in small stuff can
produce delicate chains and
necklaces. etc.
Me/hod
Extend the cord on a level
surface and form a figure
eight (1). To do this make a
large loop by twisting the
right wrist counterclockwise.
then twist the end of the loop
clockwise to form the eight.
Take care not to twist the
standing part along its length.
Form as many figure eights as
desired at regular intervals (2,
3); then insert the end
through the upper loops of
those formed. working from
right to left (4, 5). Pulling the
end through the upper loops
along the rope makes the
knots (6,7,8, g).
