How to Tie an Adjustable Thread Knot as Lock for Necklaces and Bracelets


This is the lock of my green zig zag necklace. When I am using a necklace for swimming, I don't like any base metal findings in my accessories to avoid skin allergy specially near neck area. 
This adjustable thread knot could be use to bracelets, as well. 

Tutorial:
1. Work with thread facing you this way. You won't move the left thread. Only the right thread will be moving.
2. Move right thread under left thread.
3. Now, the same right thread must be above the left thread.
4. The right thread is now back to the right side. Place it under right thread.
5. Pull right thread to the middle. Place right thread above the same right thread, then under the same right thread at the bottom part nearest you.
6. Pull together to close. The left thread will be the part moving here coz you keep it straight all throughout the process. Try pulling the left part thread to loosen and tighten your necklaces and bracelets.
