|
Step 2: Using the picture as a guide, make a loop with the left side of the cord. The loop will go over the right side of the cord. |
|
Step 3: Using the picture as a guide, Take the right side piece of cord, pass it over the tail of the loop you made in step two, and under, up & through the loop you made in step one. |

Step 5: You can either trim the ends of the cord,secure the ends together with wire, make a loop with the tails of the wire, and slide the hoop on an ear wire, or after you trim the ends you can place them in a fold over cord end and clamp down with pliers to secure. |

Stingray says:I haven’t used the Josephine knot in a long time;and done this way it definitly does look like a celtic knot, which just gave me a necklace idea. Also, this knot looks really cool in two colors.
