Knottingpedia - knot books
Here are the books that have introduced me to the history and techniques of the art of knotting:
English

- The Complete Book of Knots and Ropework by Geoffrey Budworth
- Knots (Collins Need to Know) by Geoffrey Budworth
- Chinese Knots for Beaded Jewellery by Suzen Millodot
- Celtic Knots for Beaded Jewellery by Suzen Millodot
- Chinese Knotting: Creative Designs that are Easy and Fun! by Lydia Chen
- Fun With Chinese Knotting: Making Your Own Fashion Accessories and Accents by Lydia Chen
- The Complete Book of Chinese Knotting: A Compendium of Techniques and Variations by Lydia Chen [Techniques are more for an experienced knotter]
Japanese
モダンテイストの結びアクセサリー by 知光薫
[To me, the instructions here were the easiest to follow when I first began knotting.]
アジア結びのアクセサリー by 知光薫
結んで作るアクセサリーと雑貨 by 雄鷄社
There are more jap books (which I wish to read) over here, here and here.
You can see how I apply some of the techniques on my current bloom knot collection at the Bloom Blest shop.
