Materials
You will need an even number of strings (I used 8) and two strands of each color.
Set- Up
(Tie a knot) Divide the strings: (12344321) so that the colors mirror. Split (so 4) on each side
1st Row
Take string 1 and make forward knots across the first side. Take string two and make forward knots all the way cross the same side. Continue with 3 and 4. (Its like a chevron except you don't join the two sides) Now take string 1 on the opposite side and make backward knots across the second side. Take string two and make backward knots all the way across the same side. Continue with 3 and 4.
When you're done you should have 2 'columns'
Take both 1 strings (Should be on the far left and far right) And tie them together (behind the other strings)
DO NOT TIE ANY OTHER STRINGS TOGETHER!!!
2nd Row
Re-separate the strings so that it goes 43211234
Take string 4 and make forward knots across the first side. Take string 3 and make forward knots all the way cross the same side. Continue with 2 and 1. (Its like a chevron except you don't join the two sides) Now take string 4 on the opposite side and make backward knots across the second side. Take string 3 and make backward knots all the way across the same side. Continue with 2 and 1.
When you're done you should have 2 'columns'
Take both 4 strings (Far left and far right) and tie them together (behind the other strings.)
Now either repeat steps 1 and 2 or make an optional bow-tie:
(optional) diamond crown
Take both 1 strings and tie them together 3 times. Set them aside.
Take both 2 strings and tie them together 3 times. Set them aside.
Take both 3 strings and tie them together 3 times. Set them aside.
(You should already have tied both 4 strings together once, tie them together 2 more times.)
Now align all the strings on top of each other. (both 1 strings, both 2 strings, both 3 strings, and 4 strings on the bottom)
Tie s forward knot on the left string 2 using the left string 1.
Tie a backward knot on the right string 2 using the left string 1.
Tie a forward knot on the left string 3 using the left string 2.
Tie a backward knot on the right string 3 using the left string 2.
Take both 1 strings and tie them together 3 times.
Take both 2 strings and tie them together 3 times.
Take both 3 strings and tie them together 3 times.
Repeat from row 1 until desired length.
