In this photo tutorial, you will see how to knot the Helmy’s First pattern. The Helmy’s First knot was designed by Helmy Stolwijk and is easy to make.
Make the Helmy's First knot with multiple colors of paracord 550 type III. From the two cords in the middle, we take out the core to get a nice effect. You can choose to add beads to this pattern, with paracord type I or micro cord and beads of your choice. In the MatchMaker you can see how many meters of paracord you need, and you can also choose the colors for your project. Here you'll find the Helmy's First in the MatchMaker with beads and here you'll find the knot in the MatchMaker without beads.
If you follow the photo tutorial and make this knot with paracord 550 type III, the collar with beads will be around 4 cm wide and 0,8 cm thick. Without beads, this collar will be 3,4 cm wide and 0,8 cm thick.
