Personal Note :: Many years ago a customer asked me to re-knot a Chinese belt with carved jade pieces and beads into a neckpiece. 256 Chinese button knots later done with extra fine Chinese knotting cord, I had this knot memorized and could do it in my sleep... The Chinese knotting cord is also used for making square knot bracelets with large beads and sliding square knot to make adjustable cord for neckpieces. Supply is not always available, dye lots can be noticeable - so order accordingly.
