Hal Mary Knots, and then a fnal Our Father Knot wth a Crucfx attached to

t (nstructons for ths knot are dfferent from the other Our Father knot).

Getting Ready (Tips and Tricks):

Use the above pcture as a reference for the spacng of knots on your own Rosary. Your fngertp shoud ft between each Hal Mary.

Cut several engths of twne al at once f you pan makng several Rosares (W arnng: Rosary makng s addctve!). Measure out

approximatey 20 feet of twne, and tghty wrap a pece of maskng tape at the 20Ó mark. Ths tape wl keep the twne from frayng, and

t aso heps n makng the knots of the Rosary. Cut the twne wth scssors at the center of the pece of maskng tape.

If you pan on makng many Rosares, do not use ths ength of twne for a Rosary but nstead use t to measure addtonal engths of

twne. Its much easer to measure twne wth a 20Ó ength of twne than t s wth a measurng tape or a ruer.

As wth anythng, practce makes perfect, and makng Rosares takes some practce. Keep at t and you wl experence many wonderful

bessngs. The best part about makng Rosares s gvng them away. Persevere and youl soon know what we mean!

Making A Hail Mary Knot And A Decade

Step 1

W hen startng a

Rosary, fnd the

mdde pont of

your ength of

twne. Ths wl

end up beng your

Rosarys thrd

decade. Fod the

twne over ndex

fnger

Loosey oop

the twne

around your

ndex fnger,

makng an X

shape

Lghty oop the

twne around your

fnger two more

times (three oops

tota). Each new

oop shoud be

made toward your

palm (NOT

toward the tp of

the fnger)

Step 4

Dont et the oops tange.

Genty move the oops to the

end of your fnger

Pul the

ength of

twne al the

way through

the three

oops, but

dont take the

oops off your

fnger yet!

Hodng the taped end of the

twne used to make the oops

around your fnger, nsert the

end of the twne nto the back

of the oops and pul through,

away from your eft hand.

Step 6 (Tricky Part!)

Now CAREFULLY take the three oops off your ndex

fnger. Usng your eft hand fngers as gudes, make sure

the oops stay agned and dont crsscross.

W th the mdde fnger and pnke of your rght hand, pul

the twne to shrnk the knot. W hen the knot s made, hod

the knot tghty wth your eft fngers, and pul HARD wth

your rght hand to make a nce, tght knot.

Repeat steps 2-6 nne more times for ten Hal Mary knots.

For a snge decade Rosary, make 5 knots n one drecton,

then 5 n the other, then make a Center Pece knot. For a

ful Rosary, make al ten knots n the same drecton.

Doube-check your knot count and watch your spacng!

Step 2

Step 3

Step 5

Making an Our Father Knot

Start an Our Father knot

about an nch from the

ast Hal Mary knot. Ths

knot s made ust ke a

Hal Mary knot, but

nstead of wrappng the

twne around your fnger

three times, wrap t

around FIVE times.

Foow the same method

as the Hal Mary knot,

sdng the twne off your

fnger, and sowy

tghtenng the knot, ust

ke n Step 6 of ÐMakng

a Hal Mary KnotÑ

Step 3

The Our Father knot

shoud reman đ-1Ñ from

the ast Hal Mary Knot.

Make the knot good and

tght, and then eave about

another nch of space

before startng the frst Hal

Mary of the next decade.

Step 4

Notce the spacng between

the frst decade and the Our

Father knot. Keep your knots

tght or the spacng wl

change over time wth use.

Now make two more

decades n one drecton,

then two decades n the other

from where you frst started.

Making A Centerpiece Knot

Lne up the frst

Hal Mary knot

from the frst

decade and the

ast Hal Mary

knot of the ast

decade (or frst

and ast knot f

makng snge

decade Rosary)

Hod the

knots n the

palm of your

eft hand and

fod BOTH

peces of

twne over

your ndex

fnger.

Loosey oop

BOTH strands

of twne around

your ndex

fnger, makng

an X shape,

ust ke the

other knots.

Step 4

Make TW O

oops around

your ndex

fnger wth

both strands.

It wl ook ke

there are four

strands ned

up next to

each other.

Step 5

Pul the

ength of

twne al the

way through

the oops,

and then

carefuy

tghten the

centerpece

knot.

Your

fnshed

knot shoud

be about

đÑ from the

frst and

ast Hal

Mary

knots.

Now eave a tte space, make an Our Father knot, a tte space, three Hal Mary knots, a tte space, and then youre ready for the ast knot:

Making an Our Father Knot with a Crucifix

Start a normal

Our Father

knot, but after

runnng the

twne through

the oops

DONT tghten t

yet!

Hod the

oops wth

your eft

hand, and

add the

Crucfx on

the pece of

twne.

DONT

tghten the

knot yet!

Run the end of

the twne BACK

THROUGH the

fve oops of the

Our Father

knot. Pul the

twne al the

way through.

The Crucfx s

now on a bg

oop.

Step 4

One sde of

the oop wl

tghten the

knot; the

other makes

the oop

smaer. The

knot may

move here,

so be carefu.

Step 5

Aternatey

tghten and

shorten the

oop. Make

sure the knot

doesnt move

too much.

Keep t cose

to the Hal

Mary knot.

W hen the

knot s

competey

tghtened,

pul the

twne to

shorten the

oop and

brng the

Crucfx to

the knot.

And thats t! Once youve made and tghtened the Our Father wth Crucfx Knot, take scssors and cut the oose strngs from the ends of

the Rosary (at the Center Pece knot and at the Our Father wth a Crucfx knot). Use a ghter to snge the ends that you ust cut to keep

them from frayng, beng careful to burn ony the ends and not any of the knots. If you need addtonal hep, VIDEO nstructons are avaabe

on our webste. Lasty, have your Rosary bessed by a prest, and pray the Rosary day. If you feel the Hoy Sprt movng you to do so,

gve your Rosary away and then make another. Make Them. Pray Them. Gve Them Away. If youd ke to hep us gve Rosares to

whomever wants one, we offer monthy ncentves for Rosary Makers ke you! Vst www.RosaryArmy.com for detas. God bess you!
