Basic knot with 3 scoubidou strands

To begin with 3 scoubidou strands (3 ends) you can make first a big knot in the 3 scoubidou strands to hold them together. Then you can start with the knot explained below. This knot can be used with more strands/ends, p.e. 4, 5, 6 , 7 as much as you can handle!

Step 1
Put the blue scoubidou strand 1 over the purple scoubidou strand 2. Then you pass the purple scoubidou strand 2 over the orange scoubidou strand 3. Then with the orange scoubidou strand 3 go over the purple scoubidou strand 2 and through the loop of the blue scoubidou strand 1 (see schedule 2) Now pull the scoubidou strands even and a triangle will appear. You will get a round knot if you continue knotting this way.

Straight with three ends
Follow step 1 With the next knot you need to put the loop to the left (see picture below). So you will do the same knot as above but now in the other direction.
Put the loops alternating right and left to create a straight knotted Scoubidou.
