Now that we have all the little dots crisscrossed, we must join the knot lines along the sides, top and bottom of the marked off area. Find where two lines branch out from the body of the knot, angling towards each other. Make a double lined bend to connect them. You may vary the sharpness of the turn to suit your tastes, from a 90 degree angle to a soft, round curve. There are alot of variations you can do by varying the angle of the bends.




Now all the loose ends on the knot should be joined, except for at the corners. Add the caps on the corners of the knot. This part is easy, as there are only two lines in each corner to join! As with the sides, the way you join the two strands is up to you, and again you may want to experiment with rounder corners or pointy corners. Or you can make a corner that is shaped like a flower petal, where it flares out from the last crisscross and then in again to join to a point.




Now all your corners should also be joined. As you check over your knot, there should not be any loose ends left at all, on the sides or on the corners.
