Celtic knot designs developed from braiding work, which was the use of an unbroken, woven cord design that was used by many cultures around the world. The true unbroken and interconnected knot work that is known as the Celtic knot design began around the 7th century. The style was then spread to Ireland and England. This type of design is most often associated with the Celtic people - used extensively in England as well as the rest of Europe. As a whole, Celtic knot designs have become a symbol of cultural pride for those with Welsh, Irish or Scottish heritage.
