Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Measure and cut 20 cords, each about 6 feet long.
2. Attach cords to the wooden dowel using a lark's head knot: fold each cord in half, place the loop behind the dowel, pull the ends through the loop, and tighten.
3. Plan your pattern on paper, deciding on the sequence of square knots and half hitch knots.
4. Start knotting from the center outward using square knots in rows, leaving some cords hanging for fringe.
5. Incorporate diagonal double half hitch knots to create triangles or diamond shapes as desired.
6. Continue knotting until the wall hanging reaches your preferred length.
7. Trim the bottom cords evenly or create a V-shape for style.
8. Use a comb to brush out the fringe for a fuller look, if desired.
9. Hang your finished piece on the wall using the dowel.
