The double spiral, or twist, is the same concept as the spiral knot however the number of strings is doubled. Using even numbers of strands enables one end of the construction to be neatly terminated in the middle of a strand (as in the example of the square stitch).Īs with the square stitch, each layer may be constructed either with the same direction of weave (leading to a chiral spiral structure) or as a mirror image of the previous layer (leading to a more angular appearance). Other numbers of strands may be used for the simple woven scoubidou chain, although with more than six the structure becomes difficult to support. The square stitch uses four strands (resulting from the two ends of each of two scoubidous). Strands can also be added in perpendicular formation.īy crossing the stitch, box can be made into a helical arrangement, often referred to as barrel or spiral, and the formed stitching becomes cylindrical as single barrel, but can take on quite interesting patterns when the stitch is a larger one, such as double, triple, or quadruple barrel. An endless variety of stitching can be made in this way, incorporating multiple rows, adding rows in the middle of the stitch, forming windows, switching to barrel, etc.
Thus, one can have double, triple, quadruple and more, with the number of boxes being n-1, with n being the number of strands used (because one of the strands is used as the cross stitch). More complex stitches can be made by using more strands and incorporating them adjacent to one another while sharing the same cross strand. To finish, the last end is woven over the first strand and under the second strand. The square stitch is made by taking the end and crossing opposite ends, then taking one of the other ends and going over the first string and going under the second string. This particular example starts in box, switches to barrel, and then returns to box.Īlso known as a box stitch, the square stitch is the most common knot used in making keychains.
