TYING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Tie both cord ends into a cloverleaf knot followed by the body of a pan
chang knot with a 180-degree shift (though knotted first, the former cannot
be completed until the latter is done).Then tie the pan chang knot. Hook up
this knot formation with a necklace loop.
2. Fold another cord and tie a cloverleaf knot using both cord ends. Make
each cord on either side into two ear loops. On each loop, tie a cloverleaf
knot and a good luck knot using the technique of pressing small ear loops.
Make a suitable design according to the size of the outer loop. Do not tight-
en to avoid cord abrasion.

button knot.
2. Make a thicker cord into the necklace loop.
3.Tie two lingzhi knots linked to pan chang knots
for the earrings.
