It also creates a durable wrap that won't unravel as you're working, or afterward. Since I'm a visual learner, I thought you might be too and would enjoy watching how this knot is done rather than reading about it.

I used some thrifted bangles for this tutorial, and some thin yarn. Let me know in the comments section if you have any questions, enjoy! Lunes Wrapped Bangle Tutorial from Lune Vintage on Vimeo.
