Knot an Ocean Plait into a Nautical Rope Rug in Several Scales

Simple instructions for tying the Ocean Plait or Italian Braid knot into a miniature rug are supplied as a Step by Step with several photos. This knot can easily be made in several sizes and scales for miniature or full size displays or uses. The size of the knot is determined by the number of times you go around it, the size you lay it out, and the size of rope or cord you use. In smaller scales the rug needs to be made with a needle and thread, but it can be made larger with anything from fine sized drapery cord, up to full size ships rope or climbing rope.
