	Start by making a loop in one strand, in this case the blue one. Ignore the gray one, that just happened to fall with a loop.
	Continue around and lay a second loop over the first making a pretzel shape. That is the knot as far as the blue line goes. We are now going to thread the gray line through the blue one.
	First go over two of the blue lines and then under and over.
	Now come around and go under the first blue line and over the second.
	Continue out over the rest of the lines.
	Now go over its own part, under the two of the other line, and over its own part. The knot is done but it is inside out.
	Grab the two outer loops and open up the center. You are going to tuck these two loops through the center to turn the knot back inside in.
	Here I am tucking the outer part of the knot through the inside.
	Push it all the way through. This is the hardest part of tying the knot.
	What you want is to have the four ends all against each other touching and parallel with nothing between them. Press anything that is between the up through the center to the other side. It is kind of a mess at this point. The important thing is to get all of what was the inner part of the knot as you tied it up through the center to the other side. Don't try and duplicate the exact pattern in this picture. You will get your button after you dress it.
	Now dress the knot. Work from where you want the knot to be with one strand and tighten one loop at a time working your way around the knot until you pull the tail to tighten up the knot.
	Do this around several times and with both strands.
	Always make sure that the four strands of the knot are against each other. Here I am holding them in a bunch with one hand as I work to dress the knot.
	This is the goal, the knot from the top.
	Here it is from the bottom.
