How to make a knot is not the hard part, choosing the right decorative knots or rope knot is.
The four-strand crown sennit forms a most decorative rope. Each of the crowns , be they made up from 3 or up to 6 cord, are all built with successive crowns as shown here and will remain self supporting. The secret to a good looking sennit is even pressure (tension) on each cord for every crown. The crowning can be done in either direction provided you maintain the chosen direction throughout its construction.
Rope knots can basically be divided into the following groups:
1. Bends - Joining two lines by intertwining them, without splicing, or sewing.
2. Hitches - A knot that secures a rope or line to another object.
3. Stopper – Used to bind strands at the end of a rope to stop fraying or unraveling. Also formed to stop a rope slipping through a hole or to provide a weight or handhold.
4. Bindings – Much like hitches. They are used to bind either lines or objects together. Their aim is to keep objects in place.
5. Splices – Describes the act of joining the ends, or the end and a standing part, of rope by interweaving strands. They are not knots in themselves.
6. Loops – Loops create structures used to tie, or secure, another object or line to another line. They can be formed at the end or midway a length of rope.
7. Plaits - Weaving several lines together to form a pattern and a cohesive structure.
8. Miscellaneous & Decorative – Knots that have decorative, dress or multiple category characteristics.
