37 chang knot with two groups of different
color knots along the outer border tied using the
loop-sharing technique.
TYING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Tie a purple cord into a 180-degree shiftweave
one up, one down type of pan chang knot.
2.Tie four separate red cords into four cloverleaf
knots with two outer loops by sharing the loops,
and link up the double coin knot with the outer
loop of the major knot.
3.Tie four separate pink cords into four cloverleaf

then link them up with the red knot formation by

and the pan chang good luck knot, with four rams’
heads along the periphery.
