Blaze Bar
|
| |
|
|
Description:
The Blaze Bar looks similar to a double
Square Knot sennit, but is tied
differently. It shows what you can
do with two colors.
To use this design for Micro-Macrame
jewelry, you can use 2mm size material
like Satin or Paracord.
It's wide enough to be used as a belt, or
for other types of projects featuring long
sennits. |
|
|
| |
|
Size 550 Paracord was used in the example
shown. When using this material, you need to
prepare it in a specific way.
Please read Cord Preparation
for details about how to prepare Paracord
properly. The instructions are near the bottom
of that page.

To practice, you two two cords folded in half
and secured to your board. Mentally number
the four cords.
The working cords are cords 1 and
4.
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step 1: Move working
cord 4 to the left,
passing over
cord 3 and under
cord 2.
Pass it over
working cord 1.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step 2: Move
working cord 1
to the right. Pass it over
cord 2 and under
cord 3 (diagonally).
Pass it under
- over working
cord 4, in the area where it curves.
Tighten the knot by pulling on the
working cords, while holding cords 2 and
3 straight.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step 3: Move working
cord 4, which is now on the
left, under
- over - under the other three
cords, heading right.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step 4: Move working
cord 1, which is now on the right, under
cord 3 and over
cord 2.
Pass it over
-under working cord 4 where it
curves.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Step
5: Tighten the knot firmly.
Cords 2 and 3 should be pulled
straight (with tension) as you tighten.
Each knot in the Blaze Bar has two heads,
so it resembles two SK linked
together. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Step
6: Repeat
steps 1 and 2 to start the next
knot.
The path of cord 4 is shown in yellow, and
cord 1 is shown in white. Both cords
are diagonal, which is fine. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Step
7: Repeat
steps 3 - 5.
To continue, repeat steps 1 - 5 several
times, until the sennit is the size you
want.
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Step 8: Tie a regular
Square
Knot to finish the
Blaze Bar.
Finish off the ends in the manner most
appropriate for your project and
material.
