  13. Create your sliding knot next. Cut a 20cm length of cord ready. Create a circle with your bracelet, and overlap your 6 loose strands, so they run parallel with each other, in opposite directions. Position neatly. These are your lazy cords. Pass your 20cm cord underneath (photo 12)

  15. Next, secure the two cords of your sliding knots. Thread one cord onto a tapestry needle, carefully thread back down the edge of the square knots you competed in the previous step (photo 14). Be careful not to catch the lazy cords with your needle while you are threading, otherwise your knot will not slide. Repeat with the other cord. Then trim
