This is the most recent Chaplet I’ve made. Painted pine for the 4 color beads, stainless steel for the others, and a hand cut and shaped mild steel cross.

I am a Protestant (Presbyterian specifically) who is really drawn to chaplets. I have played with Begleri, Komboloi, and Chetki for a few years but was struck with the idea that what tends toward nervous energy management could be something more devoted and dedicated to spiritual practice. That has lead me down the road of the development of the rosary and it’s been a blessing of learning.

I tend to stick to the Pater Noster/Lord’s prayer, the Jesus Prayer, but working on some other ordered prayers. I also work in some singing Gloria Patris from various hymns while using the beads as Begleri/Komboloi.

How can I finish this small red loop? I don’t have a lot of room to work with but I’d like to have a decorative/tidy knot to secure this pendant (under the walker knot).
