Ocean plait mat knot

Out of all the knots that i have found, this one in particular was one of my favorites. The shape could easily be taken apart and made into a beautiful print, and could also be added to any garment for texture. As our colour palette is black, red, white and gold I have decided to go more towards black which will encourage me to look a lot more closely at texture and surface design. The knots link in with this well as they can be added to pretty much any part of a garment such as cuffs, hem, back panel or shoulder detail.
When working in black fabric it is important that your final outcome does not look to bland, so looking at these knots is definitely opening my mind about creating something to look a little more exciting even if it is just using one simple colour.
I have included a picture of the knot and a inspiration sketch taken from the original knot.
