Pattern Notes
Four cords are crocheted using the sc st, and then the cords are woven according to diagram given. Mark each cord with different stitch marker to be able to identify them. Work all stitches in the BACK BAR of the chain. Fasten off all cords leaving a long tail to use in assembly. When weaving knot, use sewing pins to hold cords in place. All cord ends meet along the center of the pendant.
Wire wrap for beads: Cut about 2½” length of wire and thread through bead so ends are equal length protruding from bead. Twist lengths together and wrap twisted ends around pliers to form a loop. Trim off excess and hook onto chain.
Pattern
Cord A: Ch 30, Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Fasten off.
Cord B: Ch 34. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Fasten off.

I love your Celtic Knot! Is the DMC thread that you used the lighter weight thread used mainly for paper embroidery and cross stitch …..or….the heavier weight thread that is more like cord. I’m assuming it’s the latter, but wasn’t sure. Thx!
