Join five clover units into a flat open network. The source keeps the neighbouring ears linked on the board, then dresses the connecting loops; a short second part compares the result made with flat cord.

What you will need

  • One flexible knotting cord; lime-green round cord is shown for the main demonstration.
  • A gridded pin board, pins and a pointed tool.
  • Small pliers for dressing the connected units.
  • Optional flat knotting cord for the comparison shown in Part 2.

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.
