1. Please make sure you know how to start a vertical clove hitch knot. This is crucial because it is the same method to adding in new colors.
2. You should know the difference between working cords (the ones you use to create the knot) and filler cords (the cords that holds the knot). In most projects, filler cords can become working cords and visa versa but for this pattern, the filler cords remain consistent.
3. In this guide, I will be talking about dominant and passive cords. Both working cords are moving in the same direction but only ONE color will be knotted at a time (dominant) while the passive working cord is “hiding” in the back. The passive cord will be ready to switch to become the dominant working cord when its color is needed for the pattern. [I did this double working cord method to limit the “clean up” after the project is complete.]
4. You’ll need crochet hooks or tapestry needles or plain old needle and string (even dental floss works) if you want to clean up the back of the project by weaving in the cord ends into the project. [I’m working on a guide for this – I’ll come back and link it]
