Overview
“To start with, I will teach you how to knot the top section of the placemat using blue and white cords. After preparing 16 blue cords and 12 white cords, each 3.5 meters long, you’ll mount them onto a dowel with your preferred knot. I'll begin knotting by creating 14 spiral knots, followed by alternating square knots in subsequent rows, ensuring the knots are loose enough for flexibility. Next, I’ll continue alternating between rows of 13 and 14 square knots until you complete 10 rows. This creates the first section of the placemat’s top.”
