While I work on re-uploading my video tutorials, here's a quick pictutorial for how I tie the double coin or pretzel knot on myself - single strand and double strand examples 🪢
1) I drape the middle of a length of rope around my neck *for tutorial clarity I am using different coloured strands for each side*
2) I flip a loop in my red strand, ensuring that the working end of my rope rests on top of the crossing
3) I use my finger to pin my natural strand in place underneath my red loop, *resembling a cat's eye or Phi symbol* and find the end of my natural strand with my other hand
4) Now I will create counter clockwise circle with the end of my natural strand, weaving each strand I encounter, beginning by moving OVER the first red strand, UNDER the next red strand, OVER the next red strand, UNDER the natural, and exiting OVER the final red strand in the loop
5) Now I pull the length of my natural strand all the way through this woven circle and adjust my double coin knot until I am satisfied
Now with a double band of rope
Here you can see a series of double coin knots coming together to create a decorative full body tie🪢
