You can use such nodes when creating:
- Flat right knot. Attach two threads to the bar, you should have 4 ends. The base will be 2 and 3, and the workers will be 1 and 4. Put the fourth thread on the base and skip the first under the base, pull the loop from the bottom.
- Flat left knot. The technique is similar to the previous view, but work begins with the first thread, not the fourth.
- Square knot. This is the main knot in this weaving technique. To make it, weave the two nodes described above. Start with the right.
- Chameleon. In this technique, work threads change all the time. Weave a square knot and change the work threads with the main places, make a square knot again.
- Tatting. Weaves from 2 or 4 threads. The first is laid on the base and wrapped 2 from top to bottom, and then stretched into a loop that has formed. After - the first thread is brought under the base and stretched from the bottom up into the loop. If 4 threads are used, then 1 and 4 are working, and 2 and 3 are the basis. First, a knot is woven using 4 threads, and then changes to 1. It is necessary to weave a chain, while constantly changing the threads.
