Build a stepped woven face with a longer lower section on the pin board. The grey and gold routes remain open for inspection before the knot is lifted, tightened and dressed into its cornered outline.

What you will need

  • Knotting cord; grey and gold distinguish the routes in the demonstration.
  • A gridded pinnable board 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.
