Josephine/Prosperity Knot Tutorial

This tutorial uses a knot known by many names; Jospehine, Double Coin Prosperity and Carrick Bend. It creates a decorative strip that can be easily finished into a bracelet or bookmark depending on your fancy.
Its takes a couple of goes before the knot makes sense and its one that while not complicated, takes patience to get right. jospehine pg1
Still with me? Ok, lets try doing another, this time starting on the right side (which creates a flatter form that doesn’t want to twist)jospehine pg2
PS, I’m using a piece of foamboard as a base, with pins to hold the top (and other parts of the knot if needed) in place, but you can use a clipboard or just tape it down on your work surface.
