The braiding method of 16 Chinese knots is as follows.

1. Tools: bead needle, Chinese knotted red rope

2. Steps

1. First, we prepare a 1-meter-long red rope and fold it in half. Then we use a beading pin to fix it in the middle and divide it into two red ropes. First make a rope on one side, first make a loop of the rope downwards, continue to fix it downwards with a beading needle, and then wind the rope up.

2. Repeat the same steps on the other side. We will continue to use the rope on the right, using double lines to pick, press, pick, and press. The green star represents the running rope.

3. Let’s continue to make another circle as above, and then fix it with a bead needle. In this way, the rope on the right side is completed, and then we can continue to make the rope on the left side.

4. Next, we still use the rope on the left, working from bottom to top: pick one, press three, pick one, press three, and go up. The rope when coming back should also be in the top circle.

5. All the lines are completed. Now let’s reshape it. First, remove the bead needle in the middle, pull the rope outward, tighten the knot in the middle, and the long coiled knot is completed.

6. Then tighten the rope on the left, and finally adjust the ear wings of the coiled knot. A beautiful and auspicious coiled knot is completed.
