Using Charles' pattern mounted on a cardboard tube I made this example out of 3/32" cotton cord.
This is available in my Zibbet marketplace.
You can see that the knot is a plain weave turks head of 7 parts and 8 bights. The carrack bends (there are 8 of them) appear in the inner part of the knot offset from each other. This example is rather loosely tied.This is available in my Zibbet marketplace.
Here are a few more patterns by Don Wright also courtesy of Charles' web site:

Very nice work. What did you use to draw your diagrams with? Those are very nice too.
The diagrams came from Charles Hamel's web site. I did not draw them.
Could you post a video on how to tie this?
For those of you interested in creating your own versions of this design I'd suggest a visit to Charles Hamel's web site (link above) where you can find printable patterns. Trace the pattern with a highlighter to understand the progression and see the over-under crossings.
Mount the pattern on a cardboard tube and use push pins to hold the cord in place while you follow the lines with your cord. It takes some time to do this thus is not a good subject for a short video.
