Right well some people have been having trouble following the Chinese Button knot in my paracord bracelet tutorial http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50272

So this is the way I tie them.

The first Loop​

Right now the method I use works only one line at a time.​

Pass the right hand line under and over the loop.​

Right now continue by passing it under the left hand line.

Next we weave it over and under following the arrows above.​

So you know have something like this. This is a good point check you progress. The thing to check is that the to lines exit knot diagonally opposite directions. If they both exit going up or down you've got it wrong.​

Right now we pass the working line around, under and up through the centre. Now dow the same with the other line by following the red arrows.​

Now we pull both pairs of lines in opposite directions to form the knot.​

Neaten up and you have got it.​

Ooooh... Thanks Christopher,

I used to be able to tie that and didn't know what it was called so I couldn't look it up!

Cheers,
Steve
