History of Celtic Knot Work The use of knot work design is a practice that began early in human history. In the third and fourth century AD knot work designs were used in floor mosaics in the Roman Empire. Celtic knot designs developed from plait work, which was an unbroken, woven cord design used in many cultures around the world. The true unbroken and interconnected knot work that is characteristic of Celtic knot designs began around the 7th century. This Celtic knot design was then spread to Ireland and England. This type of design is most often associated with the Celtic people. As a whole, Celtic knot designs have become a symbol of cultural pride for those with Welsh, Irish or Scottish heritage.
