Used for
A textured column with knots that lean alternately left and right; hanger arms with more surface than a plain sinnet.
How it is tied
A half hitch from the left working cord around the fillers followed by a half hitch from the right, each tied around the fillers only. Repeated it makes a chain of small side bumps that alternate.
