Also called the shamrock knot, this is knot #2437 in The Ashley Book of Knots (ABoK). The knot is two four part crown knots overlying each other with the second crowning running in the opposite direction to the first. A similar knot which some call the Japanese good luck knot can also be tied with the crown knots running in the same direction giving the knot a slightly different appearance. The Chinese often attached meaning to their different knots they crafted. This one universally seems to have a meaning of good luck as sailors also often tied it for a good luck charm.
Use:
This knot could be used as a pendant for a knot necklace, stitched onto a pillow for decoration. A decoration on a tied parcel or the top loop could be made longer and ring hitched onto a key ring to make a unique key fob.

[@mushroomparty3387]

It took me 20 minutes to make the little loops and when I tightened it at fell apart

[@debajode6591]

Lol

[@RICDirector]

Suggest orienting toward the light so you dont have so many shadows, or use an overhead, difgusef, source. Great instructions, thank you!

[@valerierogers9609]

I've made these many years, but this is much easier than directions in knot book I used and it produces the identical knot.

[@aplaceinthestars3207]

After making Chinese buttons, this video tempted me. I just used cheapo gift-wrapping cord and had fun following this tutorial. Right away, I hung it on my little citron tree to go with the little lucky lantern charm it already has, hahah. Thanks again :D

[@Dragonheat13]

I like that you tell us how much cord to use, which is really important. Many of the videos don't tell you how much cord you need. Thank you.

[@LeahsTT]

Thank you. I’ve tried 1000 times and couldnt get it with other tutorials. Yours is the BEST! Got it straight away. 👍🏽

[@thesmilethief1308]

Thanks! I bought a set of Juzu beads in Nara this past summer and they recently came undone. Your video helped me tie them back together just like new!

[@umairahhanif6616]

Yeay i made it!!!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial. I use tape, soft board and needles to make sure everything on place!

Use pins to form the loops and hold the strands down. Better than tape because easier to place.

[@heberegen937]

Hi, what about the end? How to end it nicely without the 2 string hanging around?

[@batrachianbill9760]

If you're using paracord, you can cut it and melt it with a lighter. Make sure to press the melted part down so it's a bit more secure. Too bad I'm 3 years too late :P
