The art of knot-making originated from intricate interwoven cords known as plaits. While plait work can be found across Europe, the true knotted designs of the Celtic style first emerged in Northern Britain in the 7th century. Early Christian manuscripts like the St. Teilo Gospels showcase exquisite examples of Celtic-inspired knotwork. Knot patterns date back to the Roman Empire's late era and have been a popular design element across various art styles, including Byzantine architecture, Islamic art, and Kievan Rus'ian book illumination. In Celtic art specifically, spiral patterns were once dominant motifs before Christianity took hold around 450 AD. Interconnected designs eventually made their way into early Christian artwork and manuscripts. From Northern Italy to Ireland, plait work developed in the 7th century, eventually becoming a cornerstone of true knotwork designs. Today, J. Romilly Allen has identified eight elementary knots that serve as the foundation for nearly all interlaced patterns in Celtic decorative art. This ancient art form transcends geographical boundaries and continues to captivate people globally. Celtic-inspired tattoos became incredibly popular in the United States during the 1970s and '80s, symbolizing cultural heritage and individuality. Now, this timeless style has been revitalized as a statement piece in modern fashion, echoing its roots in intricate knot patterns and plait work.
