• 12 inches is equivalent to 1 feet.
• 1 yard is equivalent to 3 foot.
• 1 inch is equivalent to 25 mm.
• 48 inches is equivalent to 4 feet.
• 2 inches is equivalent to 50 mm.
• The length of the cord is determined by its size.
• Determining the width of the finished product, will give you the number of cord needed for the whole project.
• Alternating square knot design is made with four cords per knot.
• The diameter of the cord means the width of the cord from edge-to-edge and as described.
• The formula in getting the entire length of cords needed for the whole design is length of cords (in inches) x number of cord = total.
• Using the cords chart, if the material is 6mm and it is folded it should be 2 per inch.
• Using the cords chart, if the material is 4mm and it is folded it should be 3 per inch.
• Using the cords chart, if the material is 4mm and it is not folded it should be 6 per inch.
• Cutting lengths for extra cords in Sliding clasps: use 18 inch cords.
• Cutting lengths for extra cords in wrapped knots: use 36-45 inch cords.
• Steps involved in calculating for the cords needed.

  1. Determine the length from the top to bottom of the finished product.
  2. Take note that the length of the cord is determined by this size.
  3. Determine the width of the finished product. This will give you the number of cords needed for the whole project.
• STEPS IN DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF CORDS TO BE CUT

  1. Write down the width of the finished product.
  2. Determine the number of cords needed to make the knots you will use in the design.
  3. When rings are used as part of the design, determine how many cords each ring can hold.  This is done by finding out the circumference of each ring. Measure the diameter of the ring across the center from edge to edge.
  4. Find out if the cords are folded during the mounting process.
• STEPS IN DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF CORDS TO BE CUT

  5. Determine if there are cords that serve as a holding cord in the design. This cord is not used as a working cord in the pattern

  6. Determine how many cords you will need to add in cases like when you want to widen some areas of your project

  7. Determine knot design that require you to extra cords. Examples of which are wrapped knots and sliding clasps

  8. Determine the size of the material to use. The diameter of the cord means the width of the cord from edge to edge and as described
• CORD LENGTH CALCULATIONS:

  1. Cutting length for the main area (body of length)
  2. Cutting length for holding cords
  3. Cutting length for added cords
  4. Cutting length for extra cords
  5. Formula in getting the entire length of cords needed for the whole design
• Cutting length for the main area (body of length)

  a)loosely knotted with 1-inch space or more between rows of knots.

  b)simple braids or weaving. finished length x 2.5 = length of each cord

  c)rows of knots are close together

  d) double the length if the cords are folded and add extra length for the button knots, picot, or clasps
• Cutting length for holding cords:

  finished length + at least 8 inches. double the size of the cords are folded
• Cutting length for added cords

  a)top of the project should be the same length as the primary cords for the body

  b) close to the middle. the length is 1/2 the size of that of the others.

  c) near the bottom. the size is 1/4 the size of the primary cords.
• Cutting lengths for extra cords:

  a)sliding clasps: use 18-inch cords

  b) wrapped knots: use 36-45 inch cords

  c) wrapping rings
• wrapping rings:

  width of the ring x 3.14 = area to be covered

  6 mm material - multiply the material by 8

  4 mm material - multiply the area by 12
• formula in getting the entire length of the cords needed for the whole design?

  length of cords (in inches) x number of cords = total
• Next, Add the number from all groups(body, holding cords, extras). Divide by 36 to get the yards needed for the entire design.
• CORDS CHART

  SIZE OF MATERIAL FOLDED NOT FOLDED

  6mm 2 cords per inch 4 cords per inch

  4mm 3 cords per inch 6 cords per inch

  3mm 4 cords per inch 8 cords per inch

  2mm 6 cords per inch 12 cords per inch

  1mm 12 cords per inch 24 cords per inch
• Example of the design for mounting is larks head knot
• Larks head knot is done by folding the cord.
• . The fold doubles the amount of cords in the design.?
