Double Half Hitch Knot

Doube Half Hitch Knot

1.      To make the double half hitch knot, you will need at least three pieces of hemp twine: one filler cord, and two working cords.
2.      Start by forming an overhand knot at one end with all three cords.
3.      Tape the work down at this end. (Filler cord can be taped at the opposite end, but this is optional.)
4.      Pass the working cord on the right under the filler cord. (Please consult figure 1)

5.      Next, weave it over the cord to the left. (Consult Figure 2)

6.      Place the left hand cord over the filler cord from left to right, and through the loop that the right hand cord created. (Please observe Figure 3)

7.      Gently and slowly pull each cord end evenly to tighten.
8.     Repeat, starting with the cord on the right side again until desired project length. This knot will create a double helix shape.
