Compound Double Coin Knot
TYING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Knot four cord ends into numerous peach-shaped knots. Since the knot body is
flat, all you have to do is to tie and arrange the cords as shown in the illustration guide
below.
2. During the tightening process, make sure you tighten more of the horizontal fig-
ures of 8 to ensure standardized “peach” formations and hence a more elegant knot.
