What you will need

  • Red knotting cord for the open Pan Chang frame.
  • White knotting cord for the inner hollow Tuan Jin.
  • 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.
