Making a Box Knot: Method 2

- Put your finger on top of the intersection. Take the ends of the horizontal strand and cross them over your finger. Bring them to the opposite ends.
- Weave the vertical strands through the horizontal. Let the vertical ends cross over your finger and under the horizontal strand on the farther side.
- Pull all four ends to tighten into a knot.
Continuing With a Square Stitch
- Make two loops over the center with the horizontal strand.
- Bend the strand nearest opposite you to make one loop.
- Bend the other strand nearest to you to make another loop opposite you.
