How to Tie a Square Knot

Measure the twine and secure with a lark's head knot.

First you will need to measure and cut the amount of hemp or jute you need for your necklace or bracelet. You also need something to hold the twine while you work with it. Use these instructions for the lark’s head knot to measure, cut and attach your project to a key ring. This is important because you will want to be able to pull the twine tightly to make your square knots strong.

Once your twine is cut and secured, you are ready to make the first tie.
