Description:
The Bloody Knuckle Knot is an interesting fusion
of Half Hitches with the Barrel knot. In the
example, it's made around a dowel. You can
also make it while holding the cord.
The loops along the lower edge can hold charms and
beads, so this design can be used as a pendant if
made with the right material. It looks good
as a focal point in a bracelet or choker necklace.
Paracord was used in the example shown.
Please read Cord Preparation
if you have not used this material before, since
the tips need to be prepared in a specific way.

I
found this design in Decorative
Fusion Knots,
by JD of Tying it All Together.

To practice, you need one cord at least 36
inches long.
You also need one dowel arranged horizontally on
your board, or you can tie it around your fingers. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step
1: Secure one end of the cord
close to your board, and arrange it
vertically.
Make a clockwise
Half Hitch by moving the working end over
- under the dowel, and over
the secured end.
|
|
| |
| |
|
|
Step
2: Tighten the first Half
Hitch loosely,
so it grips the dowel.
Tie another clockwise
Half Hitch with the working end, placing
it to the right of the first.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step
3: Tie 3 more Half Hitches,
placing them to the right of the others
(total of five).
They should be tight enough to grip the
dowel, but still remain loose.
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Step
4: Pass the working
end under
the front of the loops heading right to
left.
It should rest close to the crook
of the loops, which is the portion at
the top edge of the dowel.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Step
5: Pass the secured
end under
the loops, placing it in
front of the working end (closer to
crossing points).
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Step
6: Tighten the Bloody
Knuckle Knot gradually.
Take your time and make sure the loops are
not twisted.
Start with the first loop and move
right as you progress. The
last thing you do is pull on the ends.
