Description: Endless Falls is
a simple decorative knot that's often taught in
children's groups, such as Girl Scouts. It can
be used to make bracelets, pet collars and
leashes, belts, and similar projects.
The primary color will be seen on the front and
back. The second color will form a single
row of loops along the sides of the sennit,
which resemble stitching. As you create
the sennit, you will be viewing the BACK of
it. The front is seen when you turn it
over (see image above).
The best way to start the sennit is with a
loop, so this is included in the instructions.
The Scout
Bracelet is an easy project for kids
and beginners featuring this technique.
Be sure to practice the others after you
are finished with the basic technique on
this page.
Endless calls can be found on the Fusion
Knots website.

Step 1:
To practice, cut two cords at least 60 inches
long.
When using this technique in a Macrame project,
the working cord should be at least 9
x the finished length you plan to
make. Add
10 inches if you plan to make a button
knot for a clasp.
The second cord should be at least 6
x the finished length.
In the images shown, the working cord is
blue. The holding cord is pink.
Step
1: Fold the working cord at
the center and secure it to your board
vertically.
Do the same thing with the holding cord,
placing it under
the working cord approximately 1-inch from
the fold.
Make sure the center of both cords line
up.
Cross the two
halves of the holding cord right over
left, resting on top of the working cord.
Note the space between the two halves of
the working cord.
Step
2: Move both halves of the
working cord backward, passing over
the crossed area of the holding cord.
Pull them through the space, then toward
you, passing under
the crossed area.
Designer's
Tip: You can see the details of
this important step more clearly in the image for
step
5.
Pull both halves
of the holding
cord to tighten the loop.
Then tighten both halves of the working
cord as much as possible, adjusting the
size of the loop if you plan to use it as
a clasp.
Step 3: The
remaining portion of Endless Falls is
simply a repeat of what you just did:
Cross the two halves of the holding cord,
arranged on top of the working cord.
Step
4: Separate the two halves
of the working cord to create a space
between them.
Then repeat
step 2.
Tighten the holding cord first, followed
by the loops made with the working cord.
Step
5:Repeat
steps 3 and 4 several more times,
until the sennit is the length you need
for your project.
Step
6: Secure the sennit with a
Square Knot
tied with the holding cord.
This is optional, if you prefer a
different finishing knot or
technique.
Step
7: Turn the sennit over to see
the V-shaped designs on the front.
