How to Tie a Pretzel Knot aka Carrick Bend for Hemp Jewelry

[@clgroves]

YAY finally!! i needed to watch someone do this.. will try it out later but i have high hopes for it.. looks much easier than i thought!! Been doing hemp jewelery since I was a teen in the late 90's!

[@PaintedSavages]

Looks like fun and I can't wait to try. I'll be looking for more knot vids from you. Thanks heaps! could never bring myself to pay 20$ for a book I knew most of the knots in already! And whoever went through and gave all comments a negative rating needs their butt kicked. So uncalled for.

[@Littlefear1]

very helpful! thank you. i've been trying to figure this out from a book for like a week. and i just didnt get it until i saw this video. thanks.

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

You made it look a lot easier than I would have imagined. TFS!

[@jayken79]

Can't wait to try! Wish you had added the lengths to use for a bracelet. I'm new to hemp jewelry, but I'm sure through trail and error I will get it. Thanks.

[@BadSignStudio_]

made a perfect one on my first try! Thank you. You're a great teacher.

[@Uselesswizard]

Great tut. Very clear instructions and easy to watch. Thanks!

[@hazregalos]

porque no se encuentra tan buen material en español!!? hay que currar en el mundo hispano... great job!!

[@thisallie]

NEW BRACELET IDEA!!!!! THANKYOU!!! :D

[@rituvip]

your tutorial helped to make it so easy thanks a lot

[@akashicvizion]

Well, just more proof that "the words may change, but the song remains the same"!! When I learned this knot from my grandfather some 30 years ago, it was called the "Josephine knot", or the " figure-eight"... (because all the brocading on Napoleon's Josephine's dress were made with this knot)... if it is done once using the bends in the center of two lengths and the free ends run East-West instead of N-S, it is known as a "Celtic love knot"!! A good tutorial, though everyone does it differently

[@aaflesje]

Thanks, looks really nice!

[@xJemimi]

looks pretty simple and easy thxs :]

[@GlitterGorgonopsid]

This is amazing. Thank you for posting! :)

[@karlangas10]

this is a great tutorial! do you have any tips for getting the two different colors of string to stay together more easily? at least so they bend in the right direction?

[@DocumGaia]

Está muy bonita la puntada... nunca la havía vistao, ya me estoy haciendo unas pulseras... Gracias.

[@cold_punk]

Thanks for making this. It was very helpful ^_^

[@mariangies]

you did great teaching how to do this. thanks... i have a question about how much material goes in one knot? i'm just trying to figure out how long of a string i need?

[@ircquartor]

nice video! i love ur voice!

[@Nordish222]

very good explanation! thank you

[@lourdesnoronha4199]

Thanks for sharing your excellent skills. What is the distance of the two knots please

[@gingerfear]

thanks so much! I've always wanted to know how to tie a pretzel knot but I'm too cheep to buy a hemp making book. thanks for the convenience!

[@nicolesamsonite]

that is so pretty :)

[@KillCloud9]

this is great! thanks!

[@licksnkicks]

very cool. Will try this in sterling silver wire

[@MsChrispy]

Thank you SO much for posting this! This is sweet, now I can do this kind too. I'm really into making macrame jewelry and I know a LOT of ways to do it, but I didn't know this one yet. THANKS! I have some videos on macrame too, you should check them out.

[@lostinerinworld]

really good demonstration! i still managed to mess it up though!!

[@rattymanx]

I love your tutorials! I am interested in adding crystals but without holes I have seen some done in a netted setting are you able to do these?

[@ajaanderson17]

This was a helpfull video thank uu

[@4cpeck]

No matter how hard I try to make a hemp guitar strap with this kind of notes It always messes up.. but I will finish it one day... ooo that one day can not come soon!

[@queenstheband6]

@jorgelinasanchez You can use hemp cords! They work nicely and you can get them almost anywhere. I use some from walmart, they are cheap and turn out lovely:)

[@CUAUHTLIMX]

Super !!!! gracias por compartir, esta muy bueno el diseño..

[@xomolleexo]

didnt actually try it out yet... but seems alot simpler than it looks. =P thanks. =)

[@HomegirlMontoyaDPS]

Wow...this is great. I am so making this for my friend...and myself, naturally. Does twine work?

[@megaevilcupcake]

This is a cool knot but I think I'm ganna have to see it again like 40 times!!! Lol

[@berlioz1990]

JUST GREAT.... THANK U

[@noseascuadrado]

thanks, my brother!

[@cristialonsopr]

thanks so much for sharing!!

[@Kpossible77]

I apologize. This tutorial is a good speed for any age. I was just having a moment. Thank you

[@jewelsbyeli]

Very cool video. Can you add beads on this type of hemp?

[@MsChainsaw1]

this one is wicked hard to do but i did it once!

[@APVT80]

Dope, dude.

[@lvb56003]

Love your video! Where do you buy your cords?

[@whit3nam3s3]

I did it, yay.

[@UtleyvilleHemp]

Very good question. The knot before the pretzel knots is a square knot. The white cords are the knotters and the red cords are the bead carriers. I apologize for not mentioning that.

[@LizKarBen]

pretty dang cool

[@TheSpideylover100]

does it work with any kinda of strings like yarn or thick thread could that work making it too?

[@sbnks15]

@caramelbonbonchen I don't know if you order from Hobby Lobby in Germany online, but look there, they have hemp on their site.

[@UtleyvilleHemp]

Well, you can use 2 pieces and double them up and tie a large loop...then cut that loop to have 4 pieces. It depends on how you want to clasp it. You need to have at least 4 strands to tie with. And it depends on the project and how many pretzels you want to tie. If I was going to do mostly pretzels for a bracelet, I'd want each strand to be at least 5 feet long...or 2 strands 10 feet long and fold them. This is probably much longer than needed and will have a lot trimmed off.

[@junari07]

that was cool =]

[@danielectrico12]

AWESOME!!!!!! :O

[@allisons4show]

Thanks :)

[@MsBeeBeegirl]

Great tutorial and very clear instructions... THANK YOU!! Can't wait to make these! =^_^=

[@heartedflower]

awesome! :)

[@BizzlerTheSizzler]

@julialou1998 no hemp is the plant fibers from the stem of the cannibus plant but usually from the sativas that dont get you high, mainly from the non bud producing plants. Hemp also can in no way possible get you high

[@sanduCatalina]

greaat:X:X:X i love it

[@caramelbonbonchen]

hey thanks a lot :)

[@totis1972]

:O Thanks !!!

[@Frankprisb]

@sbnks15 how to you keep the pretzel bracelet loose. I know how to do it but I end up unintentionally pulling it too tight and then it dosent look like a pretzel anymore.

[@TaunadoGaming]

That could make a very intersting ladder.

[@karastenberg2518]

Those aren't carrick bends, they are double-coin knots. A carrick bend results in the working ends exiting the knot perpendicular to the standing ends whereas in a double-coin knot, the working ends (as shown in your video) exit the knot parallel to the standing ends. :)

[@krazy4kevinjonas]

thank u!!!!!!!

[@sedefn3139]

Amazing...

[@bhelliom3]

@leishandjack It must be user error. I can understand it perfectly.

[@crawford229]

@MmmLexy this would be a pretty sweet ass bracelet exceptionally if done in brown hemp

[@MrWilliambadillo]

thank you

[@nereeng]

cute!

[@MeFishiee]

Holy shit weasel I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@caramelbonbonchen]

Hey where you got that hemp? I live in germany and cant find them in the internet! thx:)

[@cupidtomoyo]

can i use embroidery floss instead?

[@Nadia2015]

@MsHorses2 trust me its hard, but if you pause the clip every step and do it, it gets alot better

[@aprilhebron8982]

I have no idea what you did for that last move before you started tightening the knot..

[@Nadia2015]

can you show how u put the string length in the begining and stuff

[@lelahel11]

i like so much!! is so pretty, but i dont know speak english, so, can you do the instructions in spanish?? please!!!!

[@UtleyvilleHemp]

If you look at the top of the video in the beginning, you will see a square knot. The left strands stay to the left, the right strands stay to the right. Take the 4 strands, split them into 2 sides, tie the pretzel.

[@TheVam75]

ThanksYOU

[@danine56]

how come u already have it started so how do u start it?????

[@Shevenelle]

can you put beads on a pretzel knot?

[@momijennanicky9445]

Yay red and white kauai high school colors

[@andysemail15]

@Piratewuver haaaa nice.
