Try This – Spool Knitted Knots
.
This month, I’ve been playing around with spool knitting. Last week, I posted pictures of a few different flowers you could create with the spool knit tubes. This week, I used the spool knit tubes to create ornamental knots. I used the book 75 Chinese, Celtic, & Ornamental Knots by Laura Williams and Elise Mann for the patterns.
I’m not sure these are practical for anything; but it was fun to create them…kind of like doing a puzzle.
Double Flat Button Knot
This is a variation of the button knot. Traditionally, round button knots were used as buttons, hence their name.
Figure-Of-Eight Chain
The figure-of-eight pattern is one of the 12 elementary Celtic knots and is a symbol of eternity and the boundlessness of God.
Carrick Mat
I also made this small flat knot mat.  I imagine this could be worked into a cool wall hanging if you added more rows.
Daily Inspiration
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.

Those are pretty neat! I like that book of knots too and what a perfect saying by Maria Robinson!
Some of those knots look quite Celtic! Deccy x
Ooooh, this looks like fun with fabulous results! 🙂
The results are fantastic! You could make bracelets or necklaces with some of them. That last mat made me think of a small purse!
Gorgeous knots! Particularly like the figure of 8.
I love love love your knots!!!!!!!! So very pretty!!!!!!! I use to knit hand bags years and years ago!!!
I LOVE those knots! I tried to do some, with cord and with wire and my results were slightly less than spectacular. Yours is wonderful!
