The Grantchester knot is a self-releasing, asymmetric way of tying a necktie. Using the notation presented in The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie , it is a Lo Ri Lo Ri Co Li, finishing with Ro Li Co T. Grantchester knot instructions
The falconer's knot is a knot used in falconry to tether a bird of prey to a perch. Some sources show this knot to be identical to the halter hitch , [ 1 ] but with a specific method of single-handed tying needed when the other hand is occupied holding the bird.
Knot board [] on Elbe 1 (ship, 1965). A knot is an intentional complication in cordage [1] which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices: a hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend fastens two ends of a rope to each another; a loop knot is any knot creating a loop; and splice denotes any multi ...
Hitching tie – simple knot used to tie off drawstring bags that allows quick access; Honda knot a.k.a. lariat loop – loop knot commonly used in a lasso; Hoxton knot – a method of arranging a scarf about the neck; Hunter's bend a.k.a. rigger's bend – joins two lines
The Albright special [1] or Albright knot is a bend used in angling. It is a strong knot used to tie two different diameters of line together, for instance to tie monofilament to braid. The Albright is relatively smooth and passes through guides when required. Some anglers coat the knot with a rubber based cement to make it even smoother and ...
Christensen knot (also "cross knot"): An elongated, symmetrical knot, whose main feature is the cruciform structure made by knotting the necktie through the double loop made in the front (Li Ro Ci Lo Ri Lo Ri Co T T, Knot 25 2). While it can be made with modern neckties, it is most effective with thinner ties of consistent width, which fell out ...
The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
Close-up of a shoelace knot. The shoelace knot, or bow knot, is commonly used for tying shoelaces and bow ties. The shoelace knot is a doubly slipped reef knot formed by joining the ends of whatever is being tied with a half hitch, folding each of the exposed ends into a loop and joining the loops with a second half hitch. The size of the loops ...
