These two cords are tied together in an overhand knot at the bottom of the clew knot. This process is repeated until there only are two remaining cords. The cord at each side is then passed in front of the cords nearest the clew knot board and the cords in front, tightening the knot (i.e., the cords are alternatively crossed forward and backward and pulled through the last one on each side). Next, each cord that is closest to the clew knot board (i.e., behind the ring) is brought through the corresponding spaces between the cords in front of the ring. After the wax dries, the loop ends are cut, the ring is hung on a hook (possibly the hook on the clew knot board), and the coat hanger and rubber band are removed from the ropes. Each loop is taken off of the pegs, bound together with a rubber band, and immersed in hot wax to keep the ends from fraying when they are cut. The ropes are then clamped with a coat hanger near the ring to keep them from sliding when they are removed from the clew knot board. This process is repeated, working from left to right until all of the pegs are used. The rope is then pulled from the roll and pulled through the ring and wrapped around two pegs forming loops. The ring and chain assembly are hung on the hook, and the free end of the roll of rope is placed in the clamp. plans to ship the components of the clew knot, a roll of rope made of 100 percent cotton or 100 percent polyester and a ring/chain assembly to Guatemala.Ī sheet of plywood arranged with pegs at the bottom, a hook at the top, and a clamp at the bottom left side (referred to as a "clew knot board") is used as a form to make the clew knot.
