Dragonfly

Start with a button knot, here I used the four bight turks head knot, doubled and tightened. Twice the shamrock knot, each against the last knot. The rest of the string is twisted together and spliced back till the last knot. To finish I took the string back through the shamrock knots, one through one and half a knot, the other just through the first half of the first knot. There I cut the string short and melted the rest. You can leave it longer and use it to tie it to something.

Knots used and extra's turks head knot shamrock knot splicing back to a 4 braid round braid of 4 trad. round braid of 4 alt. a bigger picture and the other side
