How to knot leather

This question may have been asked and answered already, but I can't find it if it has.


I love making leather (smooth corded type) necklaces and bracelets, but I'm just fumbling around on my own with the knots. I've been a self teacher, so I don't know if what I'm doing is right or not.

I usually look at other pieces and try to copy. What I try to do, is a 3 loop knot (make 3 loops and pull the end back through). Does this sound right? Anyone have any directions on the best, nicest looking knots?

Thanks!
