Make the Helmy's First knot | Tutorial

In this photo tutorial, you will see how to knot the Helmy’s First pattern. The Helmy’s First knot was designed by Helmy Stolwijk and is easy to make.

Make the Helmy's First knot with multiple colours of paracord 550 type III. From the two cords in the middle, we take out the core to get a nice effect. You can choose to add beads to this pattern, with paracord type I or micro cord and beads of your choice. In the MatchMaker you can see how many meters of paracord you need, and you can also choose the colours for your project. Here you'll find the Helmy's First in the MatchMaker with beads and here you'll find the knot in the MatchMaker without beads.

If you follow the photo tutorial and make this knot with paracord 550 type III, the collar with beads will be around 4 cm wide and 0,8 cm thick. Without beads, this collar will be 3,4 cm wide and 0,8 cm thick.

Start paracord knot

In this tutorial, the Kosmetik 2.1 technique is used as the setup. Need help making this? Then check out the tutorial on the Kosmetik setup here.

Colour 1: Viva La Vino & Pastel Pink Diamonds Paracord 550 Type III, colour 2: Pastel Pink Paracord 550 Type III and colour 3: Turquoise Paracord 550 Type III

Colour 4 (for the beads): Viva La Vino Micro Cord

Beads: 8 x 5,5 mm Set of 25 Brass Beads Round - Silver (also available in other colours)

After making the setup and adding the colours, it is helpful to check that the length of the setup is still correct. Make sure the left and right strands of each colour ware the same length.

Knotting the Helmy's First 

After knotting, join the two parts together with or without beads.

This knot was designed by Helmy Stolwijk. We would like to thank her for her permission to use this knot.
