How to Tie the Cord

Watch the video for the full tying process.
Fold the cord in half
① Fold the cord in half to match the length.
Make a loop on one side
② Make a loop on one side. The yellow line indicates the top side.
Shape carefully and pass cords through
③ Shape it carefully while deciding which side goes on top. ④ Pass D through the overlap at B, and C through the gap at A.
Pull in the direction of the arrow
⑤ It should look like this. Gently pull in the direction of the arrows while keeping the balance. The knot is now complete.
If the shape is incorrect
⑥ If it doesn’t look like this, the overlap was likely incorrect at step ③. At first it may be difficult to place the knot where you want it, so practice several times.
