This is an intermediate pattern that uses Lark’s Head Knots, Cow Hitch Knots, Square Knots and Double Half Hitch Knots (DHHK). If you are unfamiliar with these knots please see links to more in-depth tutorials on how to tie each of these knots/patterns below.

Hang your rope on a piece of driftwood, wooden dowel or copper rod that is approx. 28 inches long.

In total, you will need approx. 710 ft of 3mm single strand twisted string. This rope is available on my Etsy Shop if you are interested: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/LotsofKnotsCanada

Cut 14 pieces of rope, each piece is 6 ft long.

Fold each strand in half and attach to your work using Lark’s head knots. Attach 2 strands in the middle of your work, and 2 strands about 4 inches out from the middle on each side.

Tie 1 square knot at the top of each group (3 square knots total).

Using 2 strands from the left group and 2 strands from the middle group tie another square knot about 4 inches down from your first square knot. Repeat that process on the right side of your work.

Repeat that process one more time in the middle of your work.

Attach 2 more groups of 2 strands - they should sit approx. 2 inches out from the middle group on each side.

Tie 1 square knot at the top of each group (2 square knots total).

Tie one square knot in the middle of your work - about 4 inches down from the first row of square knots.

We will add 2 more groups of rope on the sides but before we do that we will add rope to the back section of our work.

Cut 26 pieces of rope, each piece is 5.5 ft long.

Attach 7 pieces to the top left section and 6 pieces to the bottom left section using Cow Hitch Knots (reverse of a Lark’s Head knot). Repeat on the right side of your work.

Using the left most cord as your filler cord tie a row of DHHKs underneath your Cow Hitch Knots. Repeat on the right side of your work.

Attach 2 more groups of 2 strands, one group will sit approx. 2 inches to the left of your work, and the other approx. 2 inches to the right of your work.

Tie 1 square knot at the top of each group (2 square knots total).

Using 2 cords from the left section and 2 cords from the 3rd section from the right tie another square knot approx. 4 inches down from the 1st row of square knots. This square knot should sit in line with the 2 square knots from the back section.

Repeat that process on the right side of your work.

Using 2 cords from the left section and 2 cords from the middle section tie another square knot approx. 4 inches down from the 2nd row of square knots.

Repeat on the right side of your work.

Tie one more square knot in the middle of your work.

Cut 36 pieces of rope, each piece is 5 feet long.

Attach 6 pieces per section (there are 3 sections total on the left and 3 sections in total on the right). Fold each piece in half and attach using Cow Hitch knots. Attach the remaining rope to the 3 sections on the right.

Using the left most cord as your filler cord tie a row of DHHKs underneath your Cow Hitch Knots. Repeat on the right side of your work.

Thanks so much for watching! Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!
