The Sefer Hachinuch writes that there should be 13 links, where each link has 3 winds. From the corner of the garment, first there is a double knot, then 3 links, alternating white-techelet-white. Then another double knot and three more links, alternating techelet-white-techelet. Another double knot, three more links, alternating white-techelet-white. Another double knot, but the last section has 4 links: alternating techelet-white-techelet-white. This is completed with another double knot.<ref>[https://www.sefaria.org/Sefer_HaChinukh.386.5?lang=bi Sefer Hachinuch Mitzvah 386]</ref> [https://www.tekhelet.com/tying/chinuch-2/ Diagrams] | The Sefer Hachinuch writes that there should be 13 links, where each link has 3 winds.

===Rav Hershel Schachter=== | |||
There is an argument among Rishonim what the gemara means when it says we need between "7 and 13" for the tzitzit. Some say it refers to the number of links (chulyot) and others say number of winds (krichot). Rav Schachter incorporates each understanding by having 7 links of 7 winds each. Each link is separated by a double knot. the first three winds of the first link are white, and the last three winds of the last link are white (to satisfy Tosafot). All other winds are techelet (to satisfy Rambam).<ref>[https://www.yutorah.org/sidebar/lecture.cfm/857819/rabbi-hershel-schachter/details-regarding-the-tying-of-tekhelet/ YUTorah.org, Rav Hershel Schachter, "Details regarding the tying of Tekhelet"]</ref> [https://www.mywesternwall.net/2019/04/02/techeiles-how-to-tie-tzitzis-like-r-hershel-schachters-method.html Diagrams] | |||
