 Notes:

1)     A “Single Cord Knot” is made by taking one strand of the total eight, wrapping it once around the remaining seven strands and tucking in the end in the wrap.

2)     A white “Chulya” is made by taking one white strand from the total of eight strands and wrapping it around the remaining seven strands three times.  This “wrapping” strand is designated “Shamash” and is used for all subsequent white chulyot (though it is not halachically imperative that the same Shamash be used).

3)     A blue “Chulya” is made the same as a white one, but just using a blue strand.
