Material: - 3mm Single Strand Twisted Cotton String 2mm and 3mm Twisted Cotton String are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop: Hey guys! I’ve got an intermediate pattern for you today that uses double half hitch knots. This pattern can be used as a stand alone pattern to create a mini wall hanging or the pattern can be incorporated into a larger wall hanging design. Let’s get started. You will need 6 strands of cord, each strand is 4m long. Fold each strand in half and attach to your dowel using Lark’s Head knots. Top Half of Diamond Tie a double half hitch knot with the two middle cords. Working down and to the right tie 5 diagonal double half hitch knots. Repeat on the left side of your work. Create another layer using the same process.
