Cut 8 strings of 1.80m each from the cotton cord. Put the rest of the cord to the side for the end. Take the cords together to find the middle. Tie a knot approx. 10 cm in front of the middle. Now braid the cords about 20 long. Then tie a knot again. Place the braid in front of you so that all the ends of the braid are facing you. The handle is now bent.
Put all the strings together in pairs. Now take two strings from the right side and two from the left side. Lay them next to each other. Now make a square knot. To do this, take the left outer thread, place it over the third and under the fourth thread. Now take the right outer thread and place it under the second and over the third. Tighten the square knot. Leave about 6 cm of space from one knot to the other.
