Rosette
バラ結び bara musubi
A decorative finish: the knot's ends are twisted and coiled flat round the knot like a rose.
- Twist each end tightly into a cord, both the same way.
- Coil D flat round the knot and tuck its tip under the coil.
- Coil B the same way beside it and tuck its tip under.
- Press the 2 coils flat so they sit like roses round the knot.
- Done: the finished rosette on a wrapped box.
How to undo it
Pull the tip out from under the coil, unwind it, let the rope untwist, then untie the knot.
Mistakes
- Coiling a loose twist: the rosette springs open.
- Leaving the tip on top: tuck it under the outside of the coil so it is hidden.
