Instructions for Basic Knot (Candy Stripe)

Step 1: Cut 3 strands of each of your 3 colors of string to about 3 feet each. 

Step 2: Gripping all strands together, tie anoverhand knot, leaving a tail of about 3 inches

Step 3: Attach your string to something - you can tape it to a table or clip it to a clipboard. 

Step 4: Spread out your string.

Step 5: Using your left-most strand of string, bring it over strand 2, behind strand 2, and back in front of strand 1. Make sure you are holding strand 2 tight when you make the knot, and pull strand 1 up and slightly to the right to tighten the knot. To continue down the row, use the same strand you knotted over strand 2, and use it to form the same knot on strand 3.  Continue using strand 1 to make a knot on strand 4, then 5, etc., until you have made a knot on each strand all the way across. If you completed the row correctly, the strand that was the left most strand at the beginning of Step 5 is now the right-most strand.

Step 6: Do it again, starting with your leftmost strand.

REPEAT !
