What you will need

  • One cord a little over 1 metre long; the source specifies Chinese cord size No. 4.
  • A clear flat surface for laying out the completed knot.

Record what works for your cord

Write down its type, diameter and starting length, then the size after tightening. The printed result helps you compare the outline; it does not set the physical scale or show the hidden route. Follow the demonstration for threading and gradual tightening.
