Making a Spiral Knot Hemp Bracelet

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village now I'm going to show you the spiral knot bracelet the set up for the spiral knot bracelet is the same as the square knot bracelet. With the 2 longer knotter cords and the 2 inner carrier cords let me secure the carrier cords down to the table. And the knot is really the same knot except we do not alternate which side we do the loop on, we always do the loop on one side so choose your side, I'm choosen the right side and make your loop that and then take your other knotter, go over your first loop, diagonally under, and through, and it looks just the same, now instead of alternating we're going to again put our loop on this side over, under and through and you won't notice a huge difference until you get a few knots through. Pull it up nice and tight you can see that's starting to twist there, under and through. It's important to pull the cords taught and evenly, you want to use the same pressure with each knot that you make so you don't have some so tight and some so loose, so you want to have some consistence in the knot so you'll have a nice pattern. There's your loop and go over your knotter, diagonally up and through, now it does get a little bit complicated the because the work wants to twist, you see how we're getting that spiral. Just spin it back, there's your loop, your knotting looping pass the over the carriers and through. Now if it starts to twist to much you can take it off your securing loop and just turn it back and then we'll just continue on and re secure it, go over, and through."
