Build the layered crossings of a chrysanthemum-shaped knot on a radial guide. The source turns the working folds through half-turns, then closes and dresses the layers into long petals with smaller turns near the centre.
What you will need
- One flexible knotting cord; orange is shown.
- A pinnable radial guide and pins.
- A pointed cord-picking tool and small pliers.
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.
The editable SVG is a silhouette extracted from the filmed finished piece. Use it for a greeting or color plan, and compare the real photograph whenever you need the exact cord detail.
