What you will need

  • Flexible knotting cord; blue is used for the pinned demonstration.
  • A gridded pin board, pins and a pointed tool.
  • Small pliers for closing and dressing the woven centre.

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.
