I figured out the top and the bottom, but looking at the collage of the cross that you posted has me confused. Are you weaving from the joint of the two vertical pieces out on both sides or did you weave from the outside in on one side then loop through and weave out on the other? How did you finish the ends so neatly?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-342583511403760292014-12-27T11:19:44.065-05:002014-12-27T11:19:44.065-05:00I am a new to this and I still don't see how t...I am a new to this and I still don't see how the horizontal and vertical parts of the cross are connected.

Just add it in to whichever part you start with and tie around it with the other sections. <br /><br />Here are a couple of videos for tying crown sinnet crosses, <a href="http://youtu.be/dTHk7fFkaX0" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://youtu.be/RWp02O2482M" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-63512389663473005622012-12-30T03:10:54.675-05:002012-12-30T03:10:54.675-05:00Never tied, but your Paracord Crown Sinnet Circle ...Never tied, but your Paracord Crown Sinnet Circle Cross with ring has inspired me to try this to send to my son in the military, Please, tell me where to get tying instructions.
