So what is a lucet fork? A lucet fork is also known as a knitting fork and is a tool used in cord making and braiding. The lucet fork has been used for generations dating back to Viking and Medieval periods.
The lucet cord is created by making loop-like knots that won’t unravel when cut. It’s an easy and quick way to knit a cord that can be used for many purposes.

Method #1
Insert yarn through the hole front to back. Make a figure eight around forks twice. Pull the first loop over the top loop of the fork on the left and right. Make another figure eight so that there are 2 loops on the fork again. Repeat pulling the first loop over the top loop. Give the tail a tug that’s pulling through the hole as you go. Continue making the cord as long as you want.
Method #2
Insert yarn through the hole front to back. Make a figure eight around forks once. Turn the fork to the left so that 2 loops are on the right fork. Pull the first loop over the top loop on the right fork. Turn the fork again to the left and repeat pulling the first loop over the top loop. Give the tail a tug that’s pulling through the hole as you go. Continue making the cord as long as you want.
When finished, cut yarn. Remove loops from the fork and pull the tail through each loop and pull to tighten.
