Adjustable knot for bracelet

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find instructions on how
to tie an adjustable knot suitable for a bracelet. The one I've seen
used most often is referred to as an Adjustable Chinese Knot. Thanks
for your help.

Well, there are a lot of adjustable knots, as well as a whole family of
knots that can be used for adjusting. The difference is subtle. Like
Zen, the more you discuss it, the further away from it you get.

But the pre-emergent site for Chinese Knotting is this one:

If you're looking to make the bracelet adjustable, with a semi-permanent
knot, whenever I do that I use a blood knot with an extra turn or three,
or (if I have the tool) an opposing pair of nail knots.

(Tip: Though it's called a "Nail" knot, it's *ever* so much easier with a
straw!)

Good luck, happy knotting, and please be sure to come back & let us know
how your search turns out! (i.e. "Pay it forward"!)

Cross-eye splices (off the bight) our specialty.

(PS: As an afterthought (which explains why it's here in the PS), you
could make your bracelet quite large, then tie a slipknot in the off
side. Just throw a half-hitch in it & draw it up tight around the
inevitable bight. You could pull the slipped loop out to make the rest
of the bracelet smaller, and vice-versa. Quick & dirty, but you might
use it someday.)
