Situations when you need to tie a knot occur at every step. If you do not intend to subject the knotted cord from several fragments to severe stress, any double knot can be used. However, in many cases, the safety of the load and even the life of a person depends on the strength of the connection of the ends of the rope. Everyone can master strong knots.
It is necessary
ropes of different thickness
Instructions
Step 1
See what exactly you need to tie and for what purpose. Think about whether you will later untie this knot, whether it is important for you that it does not drag on in the process. Any knot is suitable for ropes of the same thickness. If one piece of cord is much thicker than the other, use a counter knot or figure eight.
Step 2
Fold the end of the thicker cord into a figure eight. Lay the cord straight, then bend the end to be tied in a loop, slide over the main part of the cord, then under it. You will have two loops. Lead the end of the cord parallel to the main part into the loop that was formed first. Do not tighten the knot yet.
Step 3
Insert the end of the second cord into the first loop. Then draw it, exactly following the bends of the first rope. Bring it out through the second loop. Tighten the knot. This is a very reliable knot that does not come loose or creep under heavy loads. It has one drawback - it takes some time to tie it.
Step 4
A brass knot is also suitable for ropes of different thicknesses. It also knits pretty quickly. It is enough to make loops at the ends to be connected and connect them, as shown in the figure. This knot is very reliable under constant loads, but sometimes creeps under variable loads. Before tying cords, on which someone else depends on safety, do not forget to make a control knot and test it for loads.
Step 5
The clew knot is similar to the bramskot knot, but it is suitable for connecting ropes of the same thickness. It consists of three elements - a central unit and two lateral ones. For the center knot, make 2 loops and connect them as shown. Side knots are formed by loops that are made on one of the cords and wrap around the other.
Step 6
If it is important for you that the knot is not only strong, but also beautiful, learn to knit "grapevine". Do not get lost if it does not work out right away, some skill is required to complete this node. Around one end of the cord, make 2 turns of the spiral from the other. Draw the end of the spiral into the formed loops so that it runs parallel to the first cord. Then, through the loops upward from you, pull the other end of the same cord. This old knot looks like one cord is simply wound around the other. However, it is quite difficult to untie it.
Step 7
To tightly connect, for example, synthetic fishing line, a "snake" knot will do. It hardly comes loose, but it takes some practice to get it done. Lay the cords crosswise. Bend the end of one into a wide loop, wind this cord several times in a spiral around the second. From the free end of the second cord, make the same loop, then wind the free end around the first in the same way. Tighten the knot.
