How did I not know that you had a Youtube channel before???  Subscribed now.  8)

Most of the plafond knot variants that I have in my archives are ice flower (interlaced overhand) based.

Here's some square/rectangular variants (https://bbs.zhongguojie.org/thread-229031-1-1.html)

Here's one I'm trying to decipher (https://bbs.zhongguojie.org/thread-229348-1-1.html)

For knots that are more THK based, look to lock knots (锁结).  I've made a few but not enough to understand the root characteristics in order to make original variations.

After a quick googling, there is pretty much nothing in English on lock knots.  Here's one of my series on lock knots on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CTq4sFVrEvq/)

Here's some lock knot based eye candy (https://www.zhongguojie.org/thread-229198-1-1.html)

This one is closer to what you are doing (https://bbs.zhongguojie.org/thread-232159-1-1.html)

Here's a really clear instruction set for the 6 eared lock knot (https://bbs.zhongguojie.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=15429)

These 2 explicitly make the connection between THK and lock knots (https://bbs.zhongguojie.org/thread-229031-1-1.html, https://bbs.zhongguojie.org/thread-229010-1-1.html)

mooore 5x4 ring knot (mat) inversions to decorative lanyard knots,
knot board,

could also be classed as practical knots, being lanyard knots, although they often are better off without a lot of weight applied...
with a decorative shoulder lanyard (knot), there isnt too much weight applied when in use, though.

the 4 bights naturally form quatrefolic shapes,
reminded me of persimmon flowers,
so the board and colours are persimmon tree themed.

i put the board together one afternoon, and in the morning when i first saw it, i wondered how the tray of ravioli got there.

other shapes include dots, diamond, square, circle, floral;
forms might include plafond, bead, medallion, button, gemstone, ... whimsy ...

the finished knots usually have a front and a back,
unless the mat was split and inverted perfectly through the middle, e.g like the coin knot video/ pic
