Chinese lanyard mat
Distantly related do the Chinese lanyard (here),
this circular mat shows how versatile knots are,
taking different forms depending on how they are
tied. The challenge with this knot isn’t just the tying,
but achieving the right shape. Good luck!
1 Put two bights in the middle of a length of rope and cross the ends, as
shown. The length depends on the thickness of rope you're using and how
many turns you add – but it’s likely to be more than you expect!
