Hey guys! I received a few questions asking if you can use both the reverse dhhk and the dhhk in your work and if you can how to do it. Yes of course you can! Today I’m going to show you two ways to use both knots in your work. I hope they are helpful and inspire you to try both knots in your work. I really like to use the reverse dhhk as an outline to the dhhk but feel free to experiment and see what you come up with! As always, if you’re enjoying my tutorials a quick like, comment and subscribe really helps me out. Thanks so much. Let’s get started.

Pattern 1: X Pattern
We will start with the X pattern. Cut 5 pieces of 5mm natural string, each piece is 6 ft in length. Fold each piece in half and attach to your dowel using Lark’s Head knots. Use the outside left cord as your working cord and tie 4 reverse dhhks working down and to the right. Repeat on the right side of your work. Tie one more reverse dhhk in the middle of your work.

Use the outside left cord as your filler cord and tie 4 dhhks underneath the previous row of knots. Repeat on the right side of your work. Tie one more dhhk in the middle of your work.

Using the same filler cord tie 4 more dhhks working down and to the right. Repeat on the left side of your work. Use the centre left cord as your working cord and tie 5 reverse dhhks underneath the previous row of knots. Use the current centre left cord as your working cord and tie 4 reverse dhhks underneath the previous row of knots.

Pattern 2: Diamond Pattern
With this pattern I wanted to show you how you can incorporate add in a little bit of colour using the reverse dhhk. Cut 4 pieces of 5mm recycled vintage green string and 1 piece of 5mm recycled sage string, each piece is 6 ft in length. Fold each piece in half and attach to your dowel using Lark’s Head knots in the order you see here.

Use the centre right cord as your working cord and tie 4 reverse dhhks working down and to the right. Use the centre left cord as your filler cord and tie 4 dhhks underneath the previous row of knots. Use the current centre left cord as your filler cord and tie 3 dhhks underneath the previous row of knots.

Tie a square knot around the 4 middle cords.

Use the same filler cord and tie 3 dhhks working down and to the right to create the bottom half of the diamond. Repeat on the right side of your work. Tie one more dhhk with the two middle cords to connect the two sides.

Use the same working cord and tie 4 reverse dhhks underneath the previous row of knots. Repeat on the right side of your work.

Thanks so much for watching!
