               Star knot




               Most  of  the  decorative  knots  so  far  have  had  a


               similar  recognisable  pattern,  one  building  on  the
               next. The star knot does its own thing, however, and


               apart  from  the  appearance  of  a  crown  halfway
               through,  doesn’t  bear  much  relation  to  any  of  the

               others. Use it as part of a decorative lanyard or, by

               tucking the ends down one more time, turn it into a

               button or toggle.




























                  1  Prepare the line or seized lines as before (Step 1). Put an underhand


                loop in each strand, and tuck the end through the loop immediately to its

                                                           right.
