Double connection knot is very useful for the beginning or end of any macrame knots to form elaborate design. The knot forms an X shaped figure when complete. Its primary purpose is to make a stable loop that does not loosen easily. The more you pull, the tighter it becomes.You will need at least 8 inches of 2 mm satin cord to practice this knot.
Step 1: Take satin cord, fold in half and fasten the midpoint with a pin. (See picture below)
Step 2: Take the strand and slip under the left strand, flip it up and then bring it done to form a loop.
Step 3: Take the left strand and tuck under the right strand then swing over toward the left and up.
Step 4: Take the same strand and tuck under lower loop of the knot and pull down.
Step 5: Pull both ends and the folded point at the top with equal force.
