Adding Josephine Knots to a Hemp Bracelet. Adding Josephine Knots to a Hemp Bracelet If you want to add an intriguing twist to hemp jewelry designs, try your hand at tying Josephine knots. Mix and match them with square knots to create an elaborate focal point, or use this technique from beginning to end to make a hemp bracelet or necklace with a lacy weave.
To make a Josephine knot, begin with two strands of hemp twine. 1. Form one strand (A) into a loop with overlapping tails, and lay atop the other strand (B). 2. Take strand B up and over the lower tail of strand A, and then place under strand A’s upper tail. 3. For more striking Josephine knots, use four strands (two As and two Bs), or 6 (three As and 3 Bs) and mix-and-match colors. Photo Credit: Sol-Creations.
