That is by far the best and most informative tutorial I have watched on sliding knots. Thank you.

[lindatate]

Your slip knot is the easiest one I've seen. Thanks

[artisticagi]

Notes:
Thank you for your detailed steps!
This is so much harder than it looks, but your video is the clearest one I have found this far.
It took three tries to get the loops on the knot equally tight.
And now I keep placing the second knot wrong, it’s not tightening correctly.
Also as a leftie I’m realizing tying the first knot with my right hand was hard but I will keep trying.


*Single Strand Bracelet*
Placing the knot 🪢 4:03
Make wise enough to fit around hand
R end over L end

Making Loops 4:27
Use pencil ✏️ in line with R side
Loop L side around

First Loop 4:46
Left side goes behind pencil ✏️ and R side and down.

Slide the pencil out 5:05
To thread working cord through loops

Loop strand through knot 5:17

Tighten knot 5:33
Pull both cords 5:37
Hold both cords in place and then pull to tighten knot

That was a great help-I now can make both kinds of bracelets! Thanks so much!

[selenanoble]

This was the most simplest tutorial I've seen so far🥰🥰🥲

[robbizawojskyj]

Ty so much! I've been trying to do this for 6 months now! Nobody shows exactly how to do it. Again thanx

[marykay]

I have tried other people’s tut’s for this sliding knot bracelet but their directions always left me confused. Yours is the clearest I’ve seen yet, thank you for the clear instructions! I will be trying it tomorrow!!!

[thedoitalldad]

Thank you for such a great demonstration!! I'm just struggling to tighten it once the ends are cut off and it's on my wrist

[eamoroso]

These are great and can be for any gender or age, quick stocking stuffers or exchanging gifts too, now I just need some cord, thanks

[InpirationsByLeslieAnne]

Thank you for a simple, straight forward, step by step tutorial! It was perfect.

[adelejones]

Thanks for this as I didn't know how to sort out the ends of the knot. Really like the bracelets you made too 😊👌

[Thaliamc]

Truly enjoyed watching this! And I’m REALLY happy to see how you’ve used the tool to help get knots to go where they need to! Thanks 😅

[lauriestewart]

If you use a straw instead of pencil you can easily put your cord through ;)

[lynnjackson]

I like that it's a variation on a barrel knot.

[auntiebagel]

Love your video...thanks for taking the time to make it and then share it with us. Small suggestion/question...instead of wrapping the cording around the pencil, what would you think of using a crochet hook instead? You can find them in various sizes and it just seems like making those knots wouldn't be quite as fiddly if you had the hook to help pull the ends through while maintaining the loops. Just an idea. 💡

[elizabethvallely]

They are great quick and easy, love they way you do the knot 🪢 thank you for sharing! Liz x

[alishaziegler]

These are super cute, and I think they could make great gifts for many age groups, from preteen on up. I've seen tutorials that use a short cut straw or tubular object when making those type barrel knots - have you ever tried something like that to help make the knots, and if so, what did you think?

[dianehoskins]

Perfect I finally learned these knots 🦄great video

[MarthaHW]

Late to the party, but I love the gemstone connector/focal option. Thanks so much!!

[doobyboop]

Thank you! I was looking for a tutorial on this exact style of bracelet 😭
