LARK’S HEAD KNOT

SQUARE KNOT

BARRELKNOT

OERHAND KNOT

1. Cut 3 cords of 1 meter each.
2. Fold each cord in half and attach it to the musketon hook using a lark’s head knot:
   – Loop the folded cord around the hook’s opening.
   – Pull the ends of the cord through the loop.
   – zorg dat de ribbelkant van het garen aan de achterkant ligt
3. Ensure the ribbed side of the yarn is facing the back.
   Place all three cords next to each other.

Tip! Secure your musketon hook with an additional cord to a hook or clamp for better grip.

1. Take the middle 2 of the 6 cords and tie a square knot with them.
2. Place these 2 cords outward; these will be the leading cords.
3. Now, use the other cords to tie barrel knots on each side, working outward. This will create a diamond shape. (📸 Photo 1–3)
4. Use the inner cords to tie a square knot at the top of the triangle. Let the leading cords hang loose. (📸 Photo 5–6)
5. Place the leading cords back inward and tie barrel knots around them with the remaining cords.
6. Close the diamond shape by tying the leading cords around each other. (📸 Photo 7–8)
7. Let the leading cords continue through the pattern. Tie all the knotting cords again around the leading cord towards the outside. (📸 Photo 9)
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to create another diamond shape. Secure the last knot tightly and, if desired, fix it with a drop of fabric glue. (📸 Photo 10)

Cut 12 cords of 15 cm each.

Attach them using a lark’s head knot to both the outer knotted cords:

• Place 3 cords at the first diamond shape.

• Place 3 cords at the second diamond shape.

• Always keep the ribbed side facing the back.

Optionally, add 1 or 2 extra cords at the bottom of the knots to make the feather fuller.

• Comb the cords of the feather well on the bottom and sides.

• Cut the cords into a beautiful feather shape.

  • Optionally, use a cardboard template in the shape of a feather for symmetry.

• Strengthen the feather with fabric glue or fabric stiffener spray.
