How to make it

3 steps

Step 1 Step 1

Begin by cutting 2 cords 1m in length of the same colour, and 1 cord 30cm in length in a contrast colour. Attach both the long cords to your keyring using a larks head knot (follow our knot guide included with your kit for each knot type). Once tied the cords from each lark knot should be different lengths - 20cm on the inside and 80cm on the outside. The longer cords are the working cord, cord A and D in your knot guide.

Step 2 Step 2

Taking all 4 cords with the working cords on the outside, begin making the keyring with half square knots. Bring the left working cord (cord A) over both the 2 inner cords (cord B and C) and under the right hand working cord (cord D). Then bring the right working cord under the 2 inner cords and pass through the loop of the left working cord and pull to knot. Keep repeating this step starting with the same left working cord, and you will see your keyring begin to spiral. Leave about 7cm of cord at the bottom of your knots so you can secure the piece and create a tassel.

Step 3 Step 3

Take the 30cm cord and use this to finish the piece with a gathering knot wrapped around the keying length to secure the four strings in place under the knots.
