clover tutorial

 

As requested, here it is, a tutorial for the clover in the above bracelet.  Although I'd liked to have taken pictures under natural light, oh well... XP

Knots used: 

cross knot

double half hitch knot

forward knot

01.  Make a cross knot with four strings. These will be the holding cords for the diamonds.

 02. Tie 2 double hitch knots on 2 adjacent strings.
 

 

04. Add a string and repeat.

05. Do the same on the other sides. You can add strings like so if desired, for later use.

 

07. Use six strings to make one diamond.

08. Make a cross knot with the middle two strings.

09. Continue making the diamond.

 10. Tie a forward knot with the two holding cords to make a pointy finish.

 11. Repeat on the other sides.

 

12. Cut off and treat excess loose ends.

new year swap

knot
tassel

sooo this was a swap w/ minganmigisi ^^ Her half of the swap was way better though TAT

marigold

 

sooo i tried making a chart. urg it's so confusing, i can't even stare at it long enough to check its accuracy.. soo how can u make it better..

 

 

petals:

when doing rnd 7, get 24 strings, fold in half, and insert between rnd 6 and 7. so each petal has 6 strings right now. it'll look like : UU_U_UU_U_UU_U...

strt each petal between the two consecutive Us. insert extra string for working cord, and add a holding cord in the middle of the petal.. on row 1, join the extra holding cord with another holding cord, and split them on row 2. honestly i don't know if there's a difference in width between row 1 & 2. orz  

 

my rnds strt in the middle of the bottom.. insert 2 strings for peduncle?? at the strt of rnd 9...I did this after i got done with the head prt.. 2 strings => 4 do crowns with those 4 strings until desired lenth... then add 2 more strings to do another crown. => 8 strings.. do leaves like pea shooter leaves, but do 1 more row.

 

so yeah i think i made my marigold too big. oops.

 

On the bck side, I ended up painting it a lil, cuz too much of the yellow holding cord was showing >^< probably should've switched them out b4 i got to the decreasing rnds. i didn't switch them until rnd 14. sooo messy.. orz is there another way of doing it???

hmm had to change the leaf pattern a lil cuz the two colored strings are of diff sizes, but no biggie,,,

I just realized that it's "hair" is supposed to b of the darker green color.~~durr
