Description: The Celtic Square
Knot is based on a symbol popular with Celtic
artists, and represents the creation of the
universe.
It's also called the Box Knot, since
it is often carved on the top of handcrafted
boxes.
You could use this decorative knot to make
Macrame jewelry, and in any pattern that
requires a knot made with one piece of cord
material.
It can be used in combination with Celtic
Button Knots to make a very
attractive clasp, since it has a loop at the top.
In the image above, I left the design looser than
usual, so you could see the details.
The material is Paracord, which needs to have the
ends melted so the inner fiber can't slip out. |

Step
1: Make the first loop in the
center of a 20-inch cord, crossing right over
left. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step 2: Move the end
that's now on the right under
the first loop, heading right
to left.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step
3: Weave the end on the left
through the first loop, heading left
to right, on an angle.
Pass it over
- under - over the three
segments.
This creates the third loop. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step
4: Spread the three loops so
you can see all areas clearly.
Move the end that's now on the right
down to the second loop, at the
lower right.
Pass it through under
- over (from
below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step
5: Bring the other end down to
loop 3, on the lower left.
Pass it through over
- under (from the top). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tighten the
knot gradually, until it's the size you
want.
The loop at the top is usually larger than
the others. |
