Arrange six repeated folds on a pin board, then work the remaining routes through them to build a triangular Bao knot. The long closing stage shows how the loose fan of loops becomes a compact triangular face.
What you will need
- One flexible knotting cord; grey cord is shown.
- 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.
