Cheater's Method for Knotting Between Beads

Tammy Powley
Continue to do this: string a bead, make an over hand knot, string a bead, make an over hand knot. That’s it. Again, finish the necklace as you would any beaded necklace whether it’s knotted or not.

The reason I call this a way to cheat at knotting is because normally only one strand of cord is used. However, this technique is simple and the results are the same as those using a single strand knotted cord.
