Make This Knot the RIGHT Way ✔️🧶

In this video I share how to create a square knot the correct way . This has become my favorite "magic knot" but PLEASE use your own discretion and test this knot with your yarn. Some viewers have commented that it comes undone with slippery yarn. If that is the case , add a tail instead of cutting close to the ends. You can work over the tails and eliminate having to weave in later so its still a great option. Otherwise , use the Fishermans knot 👍🏻

  • My dad called this a sailor’s knot because that’s how they tied the knot on the front of their uniforms (World War II) so they would lay flat and “regulation”. His phrase was “right over left and left over right, makes a knot secure and tight”. The rhyme seemed to make it easier for me to remember … for the last 70+ years and I still say it as I make the knot. 😊

    • If the tails come out perpendicular to the "ins", it's a granny knot; ideal for parcels but not for joining ropes. If tails come out parallel the "ins", it's a reef knot aka square knot and probably other names too.

    • @dorobensea I’m crocheting with Bamboo right now. It’s very silky and the knot came right out. So your last sentence caught my attention. After mentioning the slippery yarn, you said “that’s when I use the magic knot”. Are you saying there’s a knot that works on silky yarn? If so, I’m dying to know what it is. This bamboo is so frustrating to try to knot.

(kzhead.info/sun/ZJmhodOKZ32Ae3k/bejne.html) Or, you could just put a small knot in the end of the yarn on the reef knot to stop it sliding through.

  • Hi friends, hope you enjoy the video. A quick note on this knot- PLEASE use your own discretion with this knot. Some viewers have commented that it comes undone with slippery yarn so I would recommend that you test it with your yarn before committing to it fully. Better to be safe than sorry 💕 If it’s slippery/soft , then leave a tail that can be weaved in or use the fisherman’s knot that I share at the beginning of the video 👍🏻

    • I don't use knots like this. It's not worth the risk of having my project fall apart. I leave 12 inch tails and weave in 9 inches. I love making lacy shrugs. For garments, I only change yarn at the end of the row so that I can weave the ends into the side seams. That way, I never have a weak spot in the middle of my sweater.

You might also consider carrying your tails and working over them to help secure them. The areas may be slightly thicker in those areas but I’m sure not to where anyone else would notice.

    • Just make sure that the yarn can not be picked apart if you cut close to the knot. This one won’t come out if there are tails on either side but it will come undone with softer yarn if you cut too close to the knot. 😕 I haven’t had issues with cotton yarn but I discovered that I could press my nail into the knot with wool yarn and it came undone . If it’s a soft yarn leave a bit if a tail on either side and work your stitches around it (no weaving necessary ) ❤️
