My Bottles are finished, and while I stuck with the basics, I am happy with the colours and shapes of the collective group.
They were all worked the same, with 18 sets of cords attached with a Larks Head Knot, giving me 36 working cords. I... worked close Square Knots down the bottle Neck, then added an addition mounting cord and a row of Double Half Hitches. Then I went back to Square knots spacing them by about 2.5cms creating a fishnet look. Finished off the base with an addition mounting cord and a row of Double Half Hitches. Cut the cords to about 1.5cms and glued a disc of Felt at the base to hide the cords.

There are loads of ideas on the internet and when you have a little play with the knots, you will see how straight forward it is!
