How to make it

7 steps

Step 1 Getting Started

Attach the 10 cords using a lark's head knot, making sure the lengths are equal on both sides.

Step 2 Half square knots galore

Using 4 cords each from the left you will make a line of 5 half square knots. Repeat this 6 times. Then on the next row leave the first 2 cords and make 4 half square knots 6 rows deep.

Step 3 Square knots

Using 4 cords each from the left you will make a line of 5 half square knots. Then on the next row, leave the first 2 cords and make 4 square knots. Then 5 then 4 then 3, 2, 1. You will end up with a V shape. Leave 5cm space then make square knots diagonally. Using first 4 strings then 2 from that section and 2 from the next section to make a square knot. Make 3 more in the same way. Repeat from the right.

Step 4 Double half hitch knot

Make a line of double hitch knot close to the square knots in a V shape. See diagram and photos.

Step 5 Half square knots

Leave a spacing of around 5cm. Make 6 half square knots then swap the cords and make another 6. Repeat on the other 5 strands.

Step 6 Swapping the working cords

You will see that the working cords are much shorter after making all the half square knots. So now, we will bring the 2 working cords to the middle and the filler cords to the outside; the filler cords will become the working cords. P.S. You can add beads into your wall hanger at this step!
