Typo in instructions?

I love the simplicity of this bracelet & muted glow of the beads. Easy as it is to make, this part of Step 3 of the instructions is a bit odd:
“Before trimming the leather string on 1 gold spacer bead and tie an overhand knot. Trim the leather to a quart inch.” Looks like a copy/paste mistake?

Good instructions, extra 2 inches to make knotting easier

I found the instructions easy enough, having never made this type of bracelet before hence the sliding knots were new to me. I didn't have the identical materials but used what I had available and have worn the bracelet several times and been complimented on it. I did find I had hardly enough cord to make the final knots so that was very fiddly, so when I make more I will be using 22 inches instead of 20 then I will have more to play with to make it easier. Hope you all find this helpful. Thank you for the instructions.
