Decorative Knot Guide (incl. Chinese knots)

How to make a Chinese knot?

The Chinese knot is a traditional decorative knot, auspicious, common for Spring Festival, car charms, and gift accents.

The Chinese knot starts from one cord

The Chinese knot is a traditional decorative knot, using one cord to weave symmetric, auspicious shapes - common for Spring Festival charms, car pendants, gift accents.

Once you master the basics (double-coin, pan-chang), you can combine into more complex festive shapes.

3D animation is especially useful for Chinese knots: flat diagrams can't show where the cord enters, where it exits, the over/under stacking - rotating the view makes it clear at once.

Beginners: practice the double-coin and corn knot first, then challenge the pan-chang knot - progressive to avoid tangling.
