The Difference between the Crown Sinnets and the Way to Tie Them

               The main difference between the Round Sinnet and the Square Sinnet is the name. Okay, that was a joke. Now, back to business. The Square Sinnet is square shaped, while the Round Sinnet (I know it's obvious!) is fairly cylinderical. And the round sinnet gives a spiral like design, while the square sinnet is mostly one colour on two opposite ends, and on the other two opposite ends, the other colour (if two colours are used).

               My previous posts show how to tie the sinnets. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, the difference in tying them is the square sinnet is tied directly above itslf, while the round sinnet is tied is tied at an angle, around the wrist part (in the case of a bracelet) or the neck loop (in the case of a neck lanyard).

This is for the Square Sinnet.

This is for the round Sinnet.

How To Tie the Cobra Stitch

        Here is one of the easiest and famous stitch: The Cobra Stitch, also called the Solomon Bar or the Portuguese Sinnet, and there might be more names. It's modified version is the King Cobra Stitch (a.k.a. Double Solomon Bar, Double Portuguese Sinnet, etc.).

          It is very simple so I recommend this knot for the begginers who have just entered the world of Decorative Knots (or just the world of knots is fine too). Here I have added a picture collage of how to make the cobra and king cobra stitch. Follow the collage to make the stitch.

          Later on I will post a few stuff I made with this knot. But right now, learn the knot. From the 9th  picture the King Cobra Stitch starts. The King Cobra is basically just the cobra done over itself, leaving space for 1 of the first cobra stitchs to be seen.
