Celtic X Knot with Chains: Start To Finish

This knot is one of my most favorite to date. I really like the 4 circular rings worked into the design. They remind me of chain links in mail armor.

Perfect tutorial! Esp for someone taught this as a kid and unable to recreate what I remember making easily at one time! Even my American husband who knows nothing about illuminated manuscripts loved this tutorial. As I said: perfect tutorial!

Thank you so much! Glad you were able to follow along ♥️

You’re welcome Isa! Thanks for commenting 😊

[@jessicamergen]

Thank you! I was trying to remember how to do this from first learning way back in a high school art class. I could NOT remember, but it all came back to me after your video!

[@CelticTutorials]

You’re welcome, I’m happy to have jogged your memory!

[@noerodjim]

I did a step-by-step follow up and It’s a wonderful knot! Thanks!

Little confused by the 7x7 when it was a 14x14 but I got it! Maybe there is something I dont know about grid terminology. Thanks for showing us.

[@CelticTutorials]

Each “unit” of the 7x7 grid is a 2x2 of smaller squares. This just makes the knot larger. It would have worked exactly the same if the grid was just a 7x7 grid of the smaller squares.

[@darianchristie3260]

Okay, lovely. Now how to make the knot only a single strand?

[@CelticTutorials]

With this pattern of break lines, I don’t think it’s possible. I do enjoy trying to find designs that are only a single strand though!

[@Artisticlife612]

👍👍

[@CelticTutorials]

Thank you

[@almostmuddy4581]

Geez. This is really hard. What is your method for knowing which lines are parallel and which ones are perpendicular?

[@CelticTutorials]

This is an advanced knot! When you’re first starting out, draw a set of parallel lines and then a perpendicular set adjacent to it. Keep switching back and forth until you’ve connected all the dots except for the corners and break lines. After you’ve made a few knots, it’s easy to see where the parallel and perpendicular lines will go and you can do all parallel followed by all perpendicular. Doing all of one kind at a time helps me draw straighter lines. Try checking out some of my other videos for easier knots to start with. Please let me know if my explanation makes sense, and if you have any other questions, I’m happy to help.

Oops I meant to say comment

[@Ghostforeverr]

Sorry for the foment I was just so frustrated

[@CelticTutorials]

No offense taken, I took it as constructive criticism. My most recent videos go very slow and have voice overs to clearly explain everything. Thanks for your comment 😊

[@Ghostforeverr]

This is so annoying he doesn’t do step by step

[@CelticTutorials]

Hi Farhan, I’m sorry you feel that way. The steps pop up as captions at the bottom of the screen but do go quickly. Maybe I’ll remake this video in the future at a slower pace with a voiceover so the steps are more clear. In the mean time, if you’d like to make this knot, try pausing the video and replicating the lines on your graph paper.
