Tying an Adjustable Knot

Adjustable knots are a great alternative to using clasps in your bracelets or necklaces.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

You need two ends of cord. I’ve used one brown and one blue for the purposes of illustrating this technique. You can use any colors you’d like. Normally, I would use two of the same color.

Step

Step 2

Cross the brown cord over the blue and wrap 2 times.

Step

Step 3

Take the end of the brown cord, go back over the 2 loops you made and poke it through the loops.

Step

Step 4

Pull tight on either side of the knot, but be careful not to pull too tight, you need to be able to slide the knot along the blue cord.

Step

Step 5

Repeat steps 2-3-4 using the blue cord on the brown.

Step

Step 6

Now you have a knot you can adjust.
