Cullasaja Bar
Cord Used
I used one 7ft strand, and two 5ft with at least a foot of extra length on each strand when finished.
Beginning
Start in the middle of all three strands.
Fold the long piece over the shorter two.
Pull the strand in the front to your right.
Pull the one in the back underneath and to your left.
Pull the left strand over the right strand.
Turn the loop to the side and pull up until you have a round loop.
Pull the strand out on each side.
Take the cord on the right side and pull it into the front and put it towards the left.
Take the left cord and put it over the cord in front, take it behind, and out it through the loop on the right side. This is the same way you would make a basic Solomon bar.
Lark's Head
Take the red and blue cord on the left and cross them over the two on the right.
Take the right white cord and put it over the two cords on the right.
Put the rope over the two, bring it under, then trough on the left of the first rope.
Take the strand, move it to the right, go under the two strands, around, and then through the loop you just made.
Pull tight.
Take the right white cord and put it over the two cords on the right.
Put the rope over the two, bring it under, then trough on the left of the first rope.
Take the strand, move it to the right, go under the two strands, around, and then through the loop you just made.
Pull tight.
Now do the Lark's Head on the other side.
Put the two white Lark's Head knots Cross the two red and blue strands over the left again.
Continue with the Lark's Head knot on each side.
Cross the two red and blue strands again.
Continue with the Larks Head on each side.
Continue making knots until you reach your desired length.
Make part of a Solomon's Bar on the bottom.
Finishing the Bracelet
Trim the red and blue strands in the middle, and the two whites on the outside.
Two Strand Diamond Knot
This will be the knot that holds the bracelet together.
Make a backwards loop with the blue cord.
Make a backwards loop with the blue cord.

Pull the red cord around the blue loop to the left side.
Pull the red loop through the blue loop.
Take the red record on the left and pull it through the red loop.
Pull the red cord around the top of the left side.
Pull it underneath the blue cord.
Put the cord through the middle of the knot.
Not take the blue rope underneath the right strand.
Not take the blue strand and put it through the center next to the red strand that was just put in the middle.
Now pull the blue strand all the way through.
Pull and tighten the knot.
Now trim the excess cord.

This bracelet took about a half hour to make. Make sure the knots are tight. Have fun!!!
