Download and print three copies of A1111A. Decorate the separate cords on two copies; leave the third copy blank.


Cut out the separate cord outlines (even the “donut holes”).

The two cords in this knot are mirror images of each other. The cords cross over themselves twice to make a chain of three loops. Within each loop are two places (indicated by the spaces) where the other loop crosses over it. For each loop, cut open one (and only one) of these spaces.

Use the third printed knot as a placement guide. Look at the end of the knot closest to you. Place the two cut outlines in position, one on top of the other (in this case, the left on top of the right). You may wish to glue the two layers together, to form a stable foundation.

Now, working from the bottom up, either slide cut ends under or shift the layers to bring the other outline on top. (In the photos below, note the cut end(s) to slide under.)



Slide the final two cut ends in place, and the knot is complete.
