Hemp Jewerly Knots

Overhand Knot

This knot is another basic, basic knot that I am sure everyone knows how to do, but just maybe doesn’t know the name of it when making your hemp jewelry.

It is also a common knot to start and finish you hemp jewelry piece.

 The first picture is how you actually make the knot. The second one is the finished knot.

You can use a single strand, or more often than not, several strands.

Just take your stands and form a loop, then take the ends and put them through the loop. Pull tight until you have a knot!

Simple and sweet.

Overview of Hemp Knots

I have got most all of the basic knots posted on here, and before I move onto more advanced knots I wanted to refresh what I have so far.

I feel that learning the most basic knots are very essential in knowing. You can grow from there, experiment and create upon your basic knowledge!

Lets take a look.

Basic Knots

  • Half Knot -Most basic of basics, and a need to know how to make knot!
  • Square Knot - Built on the half knot, another most basic knot need to know.

Little More Advanced Knots

That sums up what I have so far. I will be adding more instructions very soon!

Switch Knot

Another knot to add to your collection of knotting knowledge.

This one is fun and easy to do. Fun with different colored hemp let your imagination soar!

I have used Natural colored and red colored hemp so to help with the visual aspect of this knot.

Step 1:

switch knot

This is to just show the square knots I started with and which cords I used as knotter and knot bearers. I used the read as the knot bearer and the natural color as the knotters.

Step 2:

switch knot

When you are ready to put the switch knot in your work, you are going to “switch” the knot bearers with the knotters. Take the natural cord and go over the red cord. Fasten down the natural cord as it is now the knot bearer.

Step 3:

switch knot

Now you will take the red cords, and use them as the knotters and make a square knot over the natural color knot bearers. Make your square knot down as far as you want on the natural colored hemp, I usually go about an half inch or inch.

That is it. Not much to this knot. But it is a cool look especially with two different types of hemp color!!!
