See the third pic of <a href="http://pas-a-pas-de-creativknots.over-blog.com/article-star-knot-1-brin-107570821.html" rel="nofollow">Fred's photo tutorial</a> .<br /><br />Note that with more than five points on a star knot, the center will be open, even after tightening up the knot. Hope that helps. ;)Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-9231189568534295052013-07-29T04:52:00.599-04:002013-07-29T04:52:00.599-04:00I really like the 7 point star knot but I am havin...I really like the 7 point star knot but I am having alot of trouble with it any help would be appreciated<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914345053506596649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-42847599565630747822012-12-29T19:46:09.319-05:002012-12-29T19:46:09.319-05:00I have tried for two days on getting the six point...I have tried for two days on getting the six point star single strand knot that was linked by you.

From the right side of the cord, come back about 8 inches and duplicate the first two photos of Fred's tutorial with the right end as the working strand 'A'.<br /><br />For the third photo of the tutorial you work with the left side of the strand as your working end, bringing 'B' from under and up through 'A' as a loop, so now the left side shows as 'C'.<br /><br />The fourth photo shows the path of 'C' around 'A', up through 'B', under the right side strand and bottom loop going up, then back down through 'B'.<br /><br />The last photo shows 'C' going back down and through itself to the left where it goes under and over the loop to the left of the lower loop and back to the right where you start following the knot to double it up.<br /><br />You just have to pay close attention to the arrows drawn on the last photo, after you've duplicated the the movement of 'C'. You can use your keyboard's CTRL and +/- keys to make the page/photos larger if needed.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-7249413614447930052012-05-16T16:12:20.130-04:002012-05-16T16:12:20.130-04:00I tried following the instructions in the "Fr...I tried following the instructions in the "Fred's tutorial" link but was unsuccessful.
