Multiple lark’s head knots   Working the knots one after the  other uses a slightly different  technique, as you have to weave  one tail around the core cord so  that it follows the correct path  to make a lark’s head knot.

These techniques work well with a 1mm cord tied to a 3–4mm core cord, as used for the samples shown.

		Single core technique   1 Use a lark’s head knot to attach a  thin cord to one end of a thicker core  cord; tie on a second length of thin cord with a lark’s head knot  facing in the other direction.
		2 With the first working end, work a  half-hitch (see Basic Knots) over the  core cord. Pass the working end under the core cord again and back up through the loop to  complete a third lark’s head knot.
		3 Continue working from side to side  working one lark’s head knot at a time  with alternate cords. You can add beads  on the large loops down each side.
		Double core technique   1 For a bracelet length: tie a lark’s  head knot near the middle of a 40cm  (16in) length of thick leather cord.    Bend this core cord in half and take  the top working cord of the lark’s  head knot across and over the other half of the core cord.
		2 Make a second lark’s head knot on  the right-hand side of the loop as  Single Core Technique, step 2, then  pass the right-hand working cord  diagonally across and over the left-hand core cord.    Tie a lark’s head knot. Take the  left-hand working cord across and  over the right-hand core cord.    Tie another lark’s head knot.
		3 Continue with the criss-cross pattern  of lark’s head knots all the way down  the core cords. You can adjust the size  of the top loop to accommodate a button  or toggle.

Decide whether to keep the same  diagonal cord on top between the knots  or to alternate them to create a slightly different centre pattern.
