Make a sailor knot bracelet smaller - how to tighten down the knot

Did you make a sailor knot bracelet that came out too big? Here is a quick tutorial how to shrink it down.
This technique will only work on an unfinished bracelet with loose ends. You may not be able to shrink a bracelet you bought off the shelf, as the ends will be glued or tied down.

Make sure you start your loop right above where the two ends meet for the most even tightening all the way around.
