The row coding of interweaves produces several common characteristics in their structure.
One of these is the herringbone weave and color pattern. Another is the nesting of bights at
the bight boundaries. We often use the simple turkshead for these interweaves since it is both
row and column coded. In the composite knot the row coding is usually retained but the column
coding goes away (there are exceptions to this which I will point out at the appropriate time).
The basic process is to braid one of the two knots to be interwoven with an open latice
structure as a foundation or frame so the space to be taken up by the second knot is
readily apparent. Then we can enter this braid with the running end of the interweave at the
bottom bight boundary and proceed from bight boundary to bight boundary by either of the two
visual braiding methods to complete the composite knot.
