4mm Rope (Colours: Natural and Navy)
Hey everyone! I have a fun diamond/cross pattern for you today. I created it using natural and navy rope which I think gives it a bit of a nautical feel. This would be a fun pattern to repeat across your work and would look great using a number of different colour combinations. If you’re thinking about incorporating colour into your work then this tutorial should be helpful as it will show you how your cords will travel when using the double half hitch knot (dhhk) so if placed correctly the colour will travel along your work too. As always, a like, comment and subscribe goes a long way and really helps me out - thanks so much. Let’s get started.
Cut 6 pieces of 4mm rope in the colour natural, each piece is 2 meters long. Cut 2 pieces of 4mm rope in the colour navy, each piece is 2 meters long. You will have about 40-50cm of cord hanging below your design once completed.
Tie 6 square knots total - 3 to complete the first row, 2 for the second row, and 1 for the third row.
Adjust your Lark’s Head Knots if necessary.
Use the outside cord as your filler cord and tie 7 dhhks down and to the right. Repeat on the right side of your work. Tie one more dhhk with the two filler cords to connect the two sides.
Use the current cord on the left as your filler cord and tie 6 dhhks working down and to the right. Tie a square knot in the middle of your work. Follow along as we will now flip the top half of the design and create it at the bottom of our work to create a X or cross pattern.
If you were to continue this pattern you could create a diamond shape here or leave space before repeating the pattern to create another X or cross. Thanks for watching!
