The lark's head knot is the simplest method for mounting cords onto a dowel or horizontal holding cord. A dowel was used in the pictures shown. Fold the cord in half. Place the center fold over the dowel or holding cord. Bring the loop down behind the dowel and pull the free ends through the loop. Then pull on the cords to tighten.
