Tying an Adjustable Knot

Adjustable knots are a great alternative to using clasps in your bracelets or necklaces.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

You need two ends of cord. I’ve used one brown and one blue for the purposes of illustrating this technique. You can use any colors you’d like. Normally, I would use two of the same color.

Step 2

Cross the brown cord over the blue and wrap 2 times.

Step 3

Take the end of the brown cord, go back over the 2 loops you made and poke it through the loops.

Step 4

Pull tight on either side of the knot, but be careful not to pull too tight, you need to be able to slide the knot along the blue cord.

Step 5

Repeat steps 2-3-4 using the blue cord on the brown.

Step 6

Now you have a knot you can adjust.
