Paracord 4-Peg Spool Knitting

Here is what I’ve got for my paracord 4-peg spool knitting kit. This is a very cheap and easy DIY project. So let me show you how:

WHAT DO YOU NEED:

  • a PVC Coupling - 2.25 inches outer diameter (bought at HomeDepot for $1.49).
  • 4 Cotter Pin - 2 inches long (bought at HomeDepot for $1.53)
  • Supper Glue.
  • Electrical Tape. (your choice of tape)
  • A Dremel tool with cutting wheels.

Mark the 4 Pins

It’s important to find the 4 spots for the cotter pins. With my measurement and math I’ve learned back in the day, basically I traced the outer diameter of PVC coupling and find a center point of the circle, then draw 2 square line across. Here is what I’ve got:

Dremel Time!

Marker the 4 lines along the PVC coupling (that where the cotter pins sit on). Using a Dremel tool, I’ve carved out the lines that fit the 4 pins (make sure you don’t cut through the pipe), and be sure the pins sit on tight and flat on the surface.

Supper GLUE!

Supper glue the pins all together. Keep the pins with the same height.

Taping It. DONE!

This is an extra step. Using electrical tape and tape around the PVC pipe to cover those expose pins. You can use your choice of tape.
