Hello Friends,
Today it is a little bit of boy scout training. How to make a square knot or some call it a reef knot. This knot is perfect with the Come Sail Away suit. I love this knot with the Braided Linen Trim on the Come Sail Away card.
Before I get started I want to give a big shoot out to LeAnn Skinner for the inspiration. Thank you so much, LeAnn to share with our team.
I have the video below or you can view it on my YouTube channel.
Measurements
- Crumb Cake 11 x 4¼ score at 4¼ card base
- Night Of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 4¼ x 1, 4-1/8 x 3-1/8
- Come Sail Away designer paper 5¼ x 4
- One small card from Come Sail Away memories and more
- Braided Linen Trim 2 of 7″
Step by steps
This is simple but to be honest, the best way to learn it is to watch the video. I will give it a shot to explain in words.
- Fold both pieces of the Braided Linen Trim in half.
- Hold one in your right hand and one in your left hand. Both of the loop facing each other.
- Take the right loop pass in under the left one.
- Take the ends of the left trim and pass it under the right loop that you just pass under the left.
- Pull and Voila! you have a square knot or some call if a reef knot.
Well if I got you all to confuse, don’t worry I have a quick video below and I am sure you will get your square knot done while watching the video.
