Supplies: two lengths of chord (mine is 3mm thick) that are each 10ft long, eight pieces of the same rope that are 8 inches long, wool needle, and scissors.

Step 1: Step 1: Getting Set Up

Fold your two long pieces of rope so that approx. 1/3 of the rope is on one side, and 2/3 on the other. Tape the two pieces to a board with the shorter ends in the middle.

Step 2: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Take the left hand piece, and bring it over top of the other three (making a 4 shape)

Step 3: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Take the right most piece (not the one you just brought over) and bring it on top of the piece you just brought across

Step 4: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Take that same right hand piece and put it behind all the other pieces of rope

Step 5: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Now bring the tail of that piece in through the loop/hole on the left hand side. It should be coming from the back and so will come out the front

Step 6: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Pull the two side pieces to move the knot up to the tape

Step 7: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Now we are going to do the same in reverse! Bright the right hand piece over top of the other three (making a backwards 4 shape)

Step 8: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Take the left hand piece and put it in front of the piece you just brought over

Step 9: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Take that same piece and bring it across but behind the others

Step 10: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Bring the tail of that piece through the right hand loop (from back to front)

Step 11: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Pull the two side pieces tight so the knot moves up the middle rope to the top

Step 12: Step 2: Learn a Square Knot!

Temp take the tape off and pull the two middle pieces so there isn't two loops at the top any more

Step 13: Step 3: Repeat!

And there you have it! You made a square knot! Repeat this until you have used up all your two side pieces of rope (the middle two will stay the same length the same time)
