SQUARE KNOT
Use a square knot in bead stitching when you want to join two cords or two ends of a cord securely.
Bring the left-hand cord over the right-hand cord, and around. Bring the right-hand cord over the
left-hand cord, forming a loop, and go through the loop. Pull snug.

HALF-HITCH KNOT
Use a half-hitch knot in bead stitching when you want
to end or begin a new thread in an on- or off-loom bead
stitching project.
Sew under a thread bridge between two beads, and
pull until the thread forms a loop. Sew through the loop,
and pull tight. If desired, sew through the loop twice
before tightening.
SLIDING KNOT
A pair of sliding knots makes a perfect clasp-
free closure on leather necklaces. The fact
that the knots slide toward and away from each
other means the necklace is adjustable, allow-
ing you to alter its length to suit your outfit.
To make a sliding knot, overlap the two ends
of a cord. Wrap one end loosely around both strands, coiling it back toward the opposite cord
end. Pass the active end back through the wraps you just made, and pull tight. Repeat with the
other cord end to make an adjustable sliding knot clasp. Trim the ends close to the knots.
