They are very easy to learn and in fact, you probably already know how to make them, you just might not realize that they were the same knots used in making the hemp designs. If you make the one knot over and over again you get a neat spiral design

that resembles a double helix. If you alternate between the two knots, you get a flat design. That is pretty much all there is to it. But if you want to begin making hemp jewelry, you need to know how much hemp to begin with. Then length will depend on what you are making and what you want its final length to be.
