Hui Ling Knot

This is a square knot with a hollow center, hence the name. Basically, the

“door space” of the bao menknot (page 70) is filled with a pan changknot

(page 64) to create a hollow center, in which can be inserted an ornamental

object such as a bead or piece of ceramic.

Tying

This knot is an extension of the long pan changknot (see Chinese Knotting,

page 74). After completing the knot, cord end A can either be hidden inside

or pulled through the body of the knot and placed with cord end B on one

corner for hanging an ornament, tassel or another knot formation.

Tips

• Make sure cord end A is longer since it is being used for tying.


• For beginners who underestimate the cord length, a new cord can be hooked
  up with a corner loop or any side loop in order to carry on.
