In this tutorial I demonstrate how to make a gaucho knot paracord bracelet.
This style of bracelets has really caught on due to the beautiful creations made by Tana Lee (leader of the LLP FB group), so I do think a lot of credit for this tutorial should be sent her way.
What this bracelet is, is a gaucho knot tied out of a wide turk’s head.
I have already covered how to tie a wide turk’s head in the previous article. We will now tie a 3 part turk’s head, enlarge it into a 5 part turk’s head and finally add a gaucho interweave into the mix.
Now let’s take a look at the items you will need!Supplies
You will need:
- a mandrel (I use a Pringles chips can which is about 3 inches in diameter)
- paracord 550. I used 9.5 feet for this bracelet
- lacing needle
- rubber band
- lighter
- scissors.

In the video tutorial below you will find the step by step instructions on how to tie the 3L5B turk’s head base knot, then expand it into a 5L9B turk’s head and finally how to add a gaucho knot interweave, resulting in a 9L16B turk’s head (gaucho knot).
Enjoy your new bracelet!
