A

An Adjustable Knot: Arrange the two ends of the cord so they are parallel and each side/end is finished or braided individually. Make a loop with the end and wind the end of the cord around the two cords three to five times or as many times as desired.


B

Pull the end through all the twists and through the loops – including the first one.


C

Pull the end tight and the loops and twists will now lie tightly around the two cords.


D

Cut off the end closely to the knot. Glue it onto the loops. Make sure not to glue the cord end onto the cord which is intended to slide.
