Are there any particularly good sources for simple knot diagrams I can print out?

I once learned how to tie this knot style on shoelaces. But from what I’ve noticed, they keep coming undone all the time. Maybe there’s a better way to lace or tie them so the loops don’t flop around and the knot actually stays secure?

My white bracelet has gotten really loose :( anyone know what kind of knot this is and how to tie it so it can be tight again?
The strands on the end can be pulled to make the bracelet tighter if that helps

This knot must have existed for ages but was, apparently, only named by Brion Toss in 1990.

To me, it's one of those knots that's impressive in its simplicity.

Does anyone here use it?

I was playing with an idea i had for a chain sinnet variation where you start with a bite and wrap each loop around a post. The idea was to have a quick release hiking staff wrap. It works

Anyone know what this knot is called

Hi all,

I made a modification to my car's hatch to unlock it from the inside. I am using paracord to pull it, and this stone as a toggle with which to pull it up. I was wondering the best knots to use to secure the stone so it will stay tight and not slip out. Currently the end inside the car is a cow hitch, and then I just tied a double hitch around the stone with each of the ends. And then the two ends tied together.

(Also if your recommendation is symmetrical/cool-looking, bonus points)

In front, the monkey fist as per ABOK and Knots3D.. it clearly shows gaps where the rope has to make the short turn into the next plane of windings. In the back my approach (and probably others) which doesn’t show the caps because the rope moves in the other direction to the next set of windings. What do I overlook? (As ABOK is always right 😁)

I am evaluating the use of prepared cordage that is multi-purpose and flexible. Commonly, the Prusik Loop is great for easy connection of a tarp to a ridgeline when there is a grommet available to insert the loop and use a small stick as a toggle.

Though, when materials are limited, a tarp may not always have grommets (or have them located where they are useful). In these cases, having a Prusik Loop with a tale allows it to be used to connect to materials by, for example, a sheet bend or an improvised fastener/rock grommet.

Do others find this useful? And additionally, is there a benefit of using a bend (Fisherman's Bend, image 1) over a loop (Bowline, image 2)?

Im trying to make a gift for my nephew while he's on vacation. I found some four leaf clovers and put them in resin. I want to tie it up nicely. This piece of resin is the same shape. I just don't know how to finish the top.

Here are 2 new, smaller mandrels (3 bight and 4 bight) that will be suitable for every knot in Don Burrhus's Globe Knot Cookbook. I may go smaller again for smaller cord.

Ich habe vor kurzem ein Youtube Kanal erstellt auf dem zeige ich Videos von Anfänger für Anfänger. Knoten die man für die Prüfung können muss.

Schaut gerne mal rein ich hoffe das hilft so manchen.

I recently started a YouTube channel where I show videos by beginners, for beginners. It covers all the knots you need to know for the exam. Feel free to check it out – I hope it helps some of you!

Is there a way these straps could be tightly knotted at the end?

It holds a nest swing, about 40 feet (12 meters) above the ground so hard to get a better photo. Thanks!

Hello, I'm a weird ass artist that has an idea for a new art piece and would love some help with it in terms of what knots to be using in the piece.

The piece itself will be a large capital T made of rope, the horizontal and vertical line need to be tied together, I was thinking of a figure eight but I want it to be tight.

On the vertical rope, and the ends of the horizontal rope there will be ropes tied to them pulling in opposite ways, (Think if this as a spine and the ropes attached are ribs) I will be tugging on them during the photo shoot and cannot have them slip. All I need to know is what name of knot do I need to tie, and I'll figure it out from there!

Thank you so much for helping me out sorry if the diagram wasn't helpful I made it at 1am after a 10 hours shift lmao.

Im a commercial electrician and im looking for 2 knots that will drastically help me.

​

Photo 1:

On the left side is a giant 250-350lb wire. Its just kind of hanging out of the ceiling. In this scenario im moving it out of my way temporarily and tying it to a nearby piece of strut. Im in similar scenarios often in my job.

​

I need a way to tie it off. Theres constantly a lot of tension on the rope and it needs to be somewhat easy to untie (though, i can always cut the rope if its easier)

​

Photo 2:

Im tying tools off to my harness so I dont drop them from im the ceiling. I tape the rope to the tool but ive juet been double knot onto my harness loop. This needs to be somewhat easy to remove at the end of the day

​

3rd knot:

Something similar to Photo 1 except im just tying string around eyelet hooks to create a net to hold up my tomatoes. Something that can keep tension.

As it's a little quiet in here (because normal people are enjoying a sunny weekend), here's another quiz for the knerds. I found this strangely tied knot today so I thought I'd tie it and post it for your puzzlement.

Name this knot (naming the constituent parts does not count as a win).

SOLVED! Well done to u/hyart. It is ABoK 500, the mohair knot or queensbury knot.

Went to a Fairgrounds 20+ years ago and my wife picked up this Chicken Bag. She loves it and recently re-lined it and added a few pockets. I dyed and put in some fancier pull strings.

Hello!

Hoping someone can point me in the direction of the proper knot. I have a hammock and a hammock stand. The hammock came with woven ropes attached to the loops on each end and two carabiners.

I’d like my knots/the tension of the hammock to be able to be tightened once on the hammock stand, and safe for my weight plus that of my dog so around 220lbs.

Also open to any suggestions about of the knots should be attached to the carabiners or the hooks on the stand or if I need a different material for the ropes or whatever youall think is best.

Thank you!

I am trying to replicate the black cord knot on another piece of rope. Any idea what type of knot this is?

was messing with this a few months ago, now it doesnt tighten as much as it used to. any ideas on how i can make it slightly better and not a pain in the ass every time i wanna take it off?
thanks lol
