This is a right half knot. Pull the knot tight around the center cord.
Thirdly – Now, go the opposite direction. Move the left side of the cord over the center strand. Now take the right side of the cord over the tail of the left side cord, then under the left side cord and the center strand and then up through the loop you just created. This is a left half knot.
Forth – Alternating right and left, make four more half knots for a total of six half knots.
