Four-Way Knot: a relational metaphor

Fusion Knot

Bind the four ends together. 

Turn the ends towards you. 

Cross the first pair of lines in one direction,

and separate them to make a

space. Between them.
Cross the second pair of lines

in the opposite direction.

Repeat with the first pair and then the second pair

until you reach the intended length.


Reverse direction,

tie another crown knot and tighten.

Keep repeating.

Take string one and place it over string two.
Place string two over string three.
Place string three over string four.

Thread string four through the loop made when string one went over string two.
Thread string one through the loop made when string two went over string three.
Thread string two through the loop made when string three went over string four.

Pull the threads tightly together.

The tighter you pull, the stronger the end result will be.
Perfect practice makes perfect.
You can use this knot as a puller for lights.
