    Also called the shamrock knot, this is knot #2437 in The Ashley Book of Knots (ABoK). The knot is two four part crown knots overlying each other with the second crowning running in the opposite direction to the first. A similar knot which some call the Japanese good luck knot can also be tied with the crown knots running in the same direction giving the knot a slightly different appearance. The Chinese often attached meaning to their different knots they crafted. This one universally seems to have a meaning of good luck as sailors also often tied it for a good luck charm.
    Use:
    This knot could be used as a pendant for a knot necklace, stitched onto a pillow for decoration. A decoration on a tied parcel or the top loop could be made longer and ring hitched onto a key ring to make a unique key fob.

    I like that you tell us how much cord to use, which is really important. Many of the videos don't tell you how much cord you need. Thank you.

    After making Chinese buttons, this video tempted me. I just used cheapo gift-wrapping cord and had fun following this tutorial. Right away, I hung it on my little citron tree to go with the little lucky lantern charm it already has, hahah. Thanks again :D

      If you're using paracord, you can cut it and melt it with a lighter. Make sure to press the melted part down so it's a bit more secure. Too bad I'm 3 years too late :P
