Description: The Linked Overhand Knots described on this page are often referred to as connection knots. This means their primary purpose is to link two cords together. They all have a raised appearance and are sometimes used to decorate cords instead of beads. Most of these designs are historical knots that date back to the early days of Macrame.  You will often find them under different names than those I use here.  These unique decorative knots are very strong and sturdy, and I have seen them used to make nets, hammocks, and other items that hold weight. But they can also be used in jewelry designs and just about any type of Macrame pattern. Here is a list of the knots described on this page: Shake Hands Bend Shamrock Knot Rosendahl's Bend Fisherman's Knot Overhand Bend Sheet Bend Alpine Bend
Shake Hands Bend
Linked Overhand knots often have interesting names. When you shake hands, you make a connection. So this name is very appropriate for this type of Macrame knot.
Step 1: You need two 18-inch cords to practice, preferably different colors. Make sure you look at the photos carefully, since the direction of the ends is very important. Secure both cords to your board, so they are vertical.
			Make a counter-clockwise loop in the cord on the left (purple). The secured portion should be at the top. The other end should be resting to your left.
			Step 2: Direct the cord on the right (brown) through the left loop from below (under - over). Move the cord clockwise, forming another loop. Make sure the end passes under the secured portion as you move it to the right.
			Step 3: Move the loops toward each other slightly so there is an extra space between them. It's a good idea to secure both loops at the crossing points, if you have not done so already.
			Step 4: Complete the right Overhand knot by moving the top portion down. Pass it through the small space from below, which is under - over. Make sure it passes through both loops.
			Step 5: Complete the left Overhand Knot by directing the top portion into the same space from above. The end should pass over both loops at the top, and under them at the bottom.
			Tighten the linked Overhand knots slowly.  Keep it flat on your board so you don't twist the knot.  There should be one end of each color coming out the bottom of the knot, on the right and left.
Shamrock Knot
Linked Overhand knots sometimes have more than one name. This one is called the Shamrock Knot, or the True Love Knot. I often use this technique when tying Lanyard Knots, so I have a sturdy base to start with. It's easy to tie and makes an interesting crossed design.
Step 1: You need 2 cords, at least 18 inches long, to practice this decorative knot.
			Make Overhand Knot A in the center of one cord. The crossed area needs to be at the top. Don't tighten the knot just yet.
			Step 2: Pass the second cord (purple) through the first Overhand Knot. It should rest over the bottom and under the crossed area at the top.
			Step 3: Bring the upper segment of cord B down, so it surrounds the crossed area of the first knot. Complete Overhand knot B. The crossing point needs to be at the bottom, and should rest inside the first knot.
Design Tip: Linked Overhand Knots need to be constructed carefully, or they don't work out. So pay close attention to the over and under details, as well as the direction of the ends.
			Step 4: Turn Overhand knot B sideways, so the ends are heading vertically (up and down). The ends of Overhand knot A should remain horizontal (side to side).
			These linked Overhand knots should be tightened gradually. Always make sure to keep the ends in the proper direction during tightening.
Rosendahl's Bend
This decorative knot, also called the Zeppelin Bend, is a unique way to tie linked Overhand knots. It’s very useful if you want the cords to end up heading in 4 different directions, rather than two at the top and bottom.
Step 1: You need 2 cords, each at least 12 inches long, to practice this decorative knot. Secure the first cord (brown), at one end, to your left. This is considered the lower end in the images shown. Make a clockwise loop in the center, so the other end is heading upward, and is vertical.  This is called the upper end in the images.
			Use the second cord (purple) to make a loop in the center, crossing left over right.  Position it so the crooks of both loops are touching, as shown.  The upper end should be heading right, the lower end downward.
			Step 2: Carefully move the left loop on top of the right loop.  Secure them at the crossing points. The crook (curved portion) of the right loop should be near the crossing point of the left loop, and vice-versa.
			Step 3: To complete the left Overhand knot, bring the upper end down, moving clockwise. Pass it through both loops from below (under - over).
			Step 4: To complete the right Overhand knot, bring the lower end upward, moving clockwise. Pass it through the loops from the top (over - under).
			Carefully tighten the linked Overhand knots, by removing the slack and pulling on all 4 ends. When finished, the ends will head in four different directions.
Fisherman's Knot
Some of these Linked Overhand knots are used in other crafts. This one is used in fishing, to repair broken lines.
Step 1: Tie the left Overhand Knot in the center of a 12-inch cord, so the left end passes under the right at the crossing point. Don't tighten it yet.  Position it with the crossed area at the top as shown.
Step 2: Tie the right Overhand Knot at the center of a second cord.  Make sure you tie it the same way, so it's left under right at the crossing point. Position it to the right of the first knot, and so the crossing point is at the bottom.
Step 3: Pass the right end of the left Overhand knot through the other knot, from the top, which is over - under (see next image).
Step 4: Pass the left end of the right Overhand knot through the other knot, also from the top.
Tighten the Linked Overhand knots as they lie, taking care not to twist or rotate them.
Overhand Bend
Like all of the Linked Overhand knots, this variation is a simple way to connect two cords. If you were to run out of material as you are making something, you can add more length by using this knot.
Step 1: Cross the right cord (brown) over the left cord (purple), so the crossing point is at the center of the cords. Secure them to your board at the crossing point.
Step 2: Curve the left cord, which is now on the right, back towards the left. Weave the right cord so it goes under - over - under the left cord.
Step 3: Bring down the top portion of the left cord (above the crossed area), and pass it under the lower end of the same cord. Rotating counter-clockwise, bring it over the crossed area at the bottom, and under the segment of the left cord further up on the right.
Step 4: Bring the top portion of the right cord down, and pass it over both ends that are on the right. Bring it under the crossed area at the bottom of the knot, moving clockwise. It should pass over both cords on the left, as you complete the circle.
Tighten the Linked Overhand knots gradually, by pulling on all four ends.
Sheet Bend
I consider the Sheet Bend to be the most unique of all the Linked Overhand knots on this page. It has a flatter profile than the others, and when tightened, there are three cords on one side, and one on the other.
Step 1: Fold the first cord (purple) in half, so the center is on the right, and the ends are horizontal, heading left.
			Step 2: Place the second cord (brown) through the first one, 1-inch to the left of the folded area. It should pass over the top portion of the first cord, and under the lower portion. Secure the lower portion of the second cord.
			Step 3: Use the top portion of the second cord as the working end. Direct it under both segments of the first cord, so it's to the left of the secured end.
			Step 4: Make a counter-clockwise loop by bringing the working end over the lower portion of the first cord. Bring it under the segment of the cord you are working with, which rests between cord 1.
			Step 5: Push up on the crossed area of the second cord, so you are working below it.  Rotate the working end clockwise. Follow the path of the first cord.  It should nestle inside the folded area.
			Step 6: Use the working end to follow the path of the lower portion of the first cord, heading right to left. It should pass over the secured end of the cord you are using. Pass it through the loop made in step 4, under - over.
			Tighten the Linked Overhand knots gradually, keeping the loops flat as you work. Three ends will be on the left, and one on the right.
Alpine Bend
Linked Overhand Knots are often used in other crafts. The Alpine Bend has been in existence a long time, but mostly used in rope work. You rarely see it in Macrame projects. It's one of the easiest to tie, and provides a good strong hold.
			Step 1: You need 2 cords at least 12 inches long to practice this type of Linked Overhand knot. Secure one end of the first cord to your left (brown). Make a clockwise loop, so the working end is heading upward when you are done.
			Step 2: Secure the second cord on your right (purple). Pass it through the first loop from below (under - over). Rotate it counter-clockwise, so the crossing point is on the right, and the working end at the top.
			Step 3: Move the two loops slightly, creating an extra space. That is where the ends will go in the next step.
			Step 4: Direct both working ends down and through the space from below (under - over).
			Tighten the Linked Overhand knots making sure you don't twist them.
