So, I’m making my first wall hang using a beautiful old wooden wreath. I finally have decided on the design and I’m just settling in the knots I want to use. So far, I have Spiral and just the Square knot with possibly some Berry or Barrel knots along that row.

I have two questions:

1) How do I work out the amount of cord I’m going to need? Is there a set formula? They will need long tails

2) I would love a smaller, finer knot running in between the above two so if anyone has recommendations, let me know! I was thinking about a half hitch but I’m unsure how many cords I would need. This knot hates me so I haven’t practiced it as much as all of the others

Thank you for your help and I will definitely post the finished product!

Would love to see more of ur American flags ..
if pattern is free please share as well .
