What you will need

  • Knotting cord; pink and yellow distinguish the two routes in the demonstration.
  • A pinnable board, pins and a pointed cord-picking tool.
  • Small pliers for transferring slack through tight passages.

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.
