Also called a Cobra Stitch and a Portuguese Sinnet, the Solomon Bar is used as a military cord and pervasively by hemp necklace and bracelet weavers.

the typical rule for tying with paracord is 1 ft for 1 in. so if you want a 6 in. bracelet, then use 6 ft of cord.

Thank you so much for this video!  I appreciate the clarity and you going slow enough so that I can keep up and actually learn!

I can do this with my thicker hemp called sisal; it turns out very nice

Hi

JD, I need a little help. First let me say thank you for sharing your gift with all of us!! I've made several of your bracelets so far but this was my first 2 color Solomon Bar using a loop & diamond knot closure. I wasn't sure about the length of cord needed so I used 7' of each color. I ended up with one side of color about a foot and the other side almost 2 ft. on both cords of color. Both cords started even in half. What is the correct way to start so they end up even when finished? Linda

if u could calculate this on meters and CM it would be great :)

[Patrick Rodriguez]

this is much clearer than other videos I've seen. I especially appreciate that you always use the strand on the right, and cross it over the center 2 strands alternate between over and under the center 2. Super easy! :)

To make sure the bracelet doesn't undo its self
