| | How to tie an Orthodox Prayer Rope |
 | | Using size 1 (1mm) rattail reduces the size significantly, about 5 3/4 inches inside circumfrence, but is perfect for smaller wrists, particularly ladies' or children's. |
 | | Using rattail, it takes about 8 yards (7.32 m) of material to make a 33-knot rope, including the cross at the end of the process. |
 | | If you use the same material as the prayer rope (rattail or yarn), you don't have to sew or trim, these pieces of excess form part of the tassle itself, and you simply need to wrap the tassle with thread after tying the short pieces on. |
