Knot the gorgeous pattern “Stairways” using this photo tutorial. This 5 color knot is a design by Silke Engels.
When you knot the stairways with paracord 550, the knotwork is about 4.8 cm wide and 1.4 cm thick.
Check out this paracord knot with 5 colors in the MatchMaker and choose your favorite color combinations there and calculate how much rope you need for your project.
Start Paracord Knot
For the set-up we use the Kosmetik 2.1. Colors 2, 3 and 4 go through all three set-up knots, color 5 only goes through the middle set-up knot. Below you can see how the colors are added.
Color 1: Fresh Mint, color 2: Neon Turquoize, color 3: Electroshock, color 4: Aquamarine Blue and color 5: Indigo.
After the set-up is made and the colors have been added, it is handy to check that the length of the set-up is still correct. Make sure the left and right strand of each color are the same length. If this is correct, you can start on the knot.
Knotting the Stairways
Step 11: Make sure you always cross the strands of color 5 in the same direction. So either always right over left or always left over right.
Step 13: From now on, keep repeating the same steps.
This knot is designed by Silke Engels. We would like to thank her for allowing us to use this knot.
