A Chinese knot
A beautiful, original motif
This planar knot is a little more elaborate than the "Planar Chinese Knot for a Necklace" (see Sheet) but presents no difficulty.
It can be tied with one or two strands.
It can be tied with one or two strands.
Let's start with two strands.
The first is a single knot, which you arrange as shown in the sketch.
The second strand, COMING FROM THE TOP RIGHT, crosses the first: underneath, twice on top, then underneath.
From there, now represented by a line, it weaves the pattern thus created.
(Note that this second strand, like the first, is no more than a single knot: this pattern is the combination of two single knots, all in the way they are interlaced)
Now add this knot, more or less openwork according to your taste.
You can cut off the four ends and sew it onto a fancy jacket, for example, in the style of a brandebourg.
This knot can also be made with a single strand.
Simply fold the strand in half (dotted line).
Make the first pass of the pattern with the left side of the strand, then the second with the right.
At the bottom of the knot, cut the wires to the desired length... or repeat the pattern as shown in sketches 1 and 2.
