Make the Niki's Butterfly knot | Tutorial
In this photo tutorial, you will see how to knot the Niki's Butterfly pattern. The Daylight knot was designed by Nicole Damer and is easy to make.
In this photo tutorial, you will see how to make the "Meins Caterpillar" knot with 5 different paracord colors. The Meins Caterpillar is a design by Claudia Pohl.
If you tie the Meins Caterpillar with Paracord type 3, the knot is about 4.8 cm wide and 1.4 cm thick. Do you think this is too thick or wide? Then you can choose to make the knot with paracord type 2 or type 1.
In the MatchMaker you can choose the colors and see how much paracord you need to make this knot.
Start paracord knot
In this tutorial we will use the Kosmetik 2.1 setup. You make this with color 1 and then add the other four colors. Colors 2 and 3 go through the two outer cow hitch knots. Add colors 4 and 5 through the middle cow hitch knot. Below you can see how to add the colors to the setup.
Color 1: Fox Orange, color 2: Neon Pink & Acid Purple Diamonds, color 3: Royal Purple, color 4: Dark Cyan and color 5: Passion Pink.
After the setup has been created and the colors have been added, it is helpful to check that the length of the setup is still correct. Also check that the left and right strands of each color are the same length. If this is correct, you can start making the knot itself.
