I began by deconstructing the necklace, which ended up being 5 or so sections of six pieces of chain.

Taking one of these sections, I began twisting and tangling to create a main knot that with loops of chain hanging from it.

To create the hanging loops and hold the knot in place, I attached chains together with jump rings.
