These are examples of the crosses with the knotted cord in 550 paracord. This cord does vary quite a bit as far as softness, thickness being milspec and so on. The copper cord is what I would consider a heavier or thicker barrel which is the outer core. I removed the inner strands of the paracord before I made the rosary style cross. This makes the paracord tie closer and looks a bit more like knotted ribbon. The black cross is made of a 550 paracord and it still contains the inner strands. This paracord is a bit lighter and softer to the touch. It has all the 550 strength, but has a thinner barrel. This cord works well for this project. The thicker the cord, the larger the knots will look. It’s really good to experiment with different types of cord and see how they work with various pieces.
These are made from one piece of paracord and this is my own design.
