[@tkenben]

So, a lot of these clever knots usually have one problem, that being they tighten (take up slack) from one side. I see some people trying these type of knots on footwear too. This becomes an issue for pants that have the laces sewn in, a feature you find in a lot of modern day sweatpants and trunks.

[@jkg6211]

Take up all the slack (pull it tight) on one side before you start tying the knot. It'll work.

[@ilj5000]

[@sewpungyow5154]

My scrub pants always sag so bad from all the shit I carry and I'm constantly re-tying the knot. THANK YOU

[@mdemers767]

Neat, although the nylon webbing drawstring on my work scrubs still slips a bit when trying to attain the proper amount of tension. Gonna stick with my "cord lock" cam device, which has a little toothed wheel inside a teardrop shaped container. As tension is applied, the cord pulls harder on the wheel, which jams it tighter against the narrow end of the teardrop. Nearly flawless, and I can apply near tourniquet levels of tension without slippage. This knot may work better with a different cord material than I have to work with.

Cool knot! With one-piece drawstrings this will work well. Unfortunately some pants have drawstrings that don't go all the way round in 1 piece, but consist of 2 pieces, each sewn to the tunnel. With those, the method wont work so well.

Slipped Sheet Bend actually

[@johnnyragadoo2414]

@@Mostlyonoff Oh, true, better explanation. In my defense, sheet bends and bowlines are pretty much the same knot. Have you ever seen how a bowline will capsize into a slip knot precariously holding the bitter end? A friend who knew a lot more about knots than I ever will showed that to me to demonstrate why even good knots have to be loaded properly to be reliable. That's why this slipped sheet bend is easy to adjust. When loaded one way, it holds. Apply the load differently, it lets the line run. Handy, in this case.

[@Mostlyonoff]

Nope, I was wrong. This is a Lapp Knot (bend). At a glance very similar to Bowline and Sheet structure, but definitely it is different. You were on the right track as its a reverse sheet bend, the working ends are flipped. This keeps it out of the loop when slipped. Useful variation i was not aware of

The old fashion bunny ears works great actually, IF you make the second knot in the opposite direction, ie. a reef knot. A reef knot with loops won’t slide or slip at all, a granny knot (where both knots are in the same direction) will slide for sure. Google ”Reef knot” and you won’t have any problems anymore.

[@First_Class_Amateur]

I’ll check it out

[@patrickb-man1309]

Create a bite (bunny ear) with one string. Wrap that bite around the other string and pull it tight through the loop that you created when you wrapped it around. It should look like half of a regular bow tie style knot with only one loop instead of two (one string will still be long). Then, take the second string that should still be longer, make a bite (bunny ear) with it, and wrap it around the first bite, and just like you did with the first one, pull it tight through its own loop that you just created when you wrapped it around the first bite. Now, it should look like a regular bow tie knot with the two loops and two ends of string hanging, but it won’t come loose on its own like a normal one…. BUT you can still untie it the normal way by pulling the ends of the strings that are hanging. Hope that wasn’t too confusing.

[@JohnPaquette]

Great video. This is called the Lapp knot as adjustable binding knot. In your video, you happen to tie it correctly both times (without calling attention to such), but (in more critical situations, generally) it matters which way the loop on the right goes through the knot. See here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapp_knot So, it's probably good to get in the habit of being specific about how the knot is properly tied, so that what you do is useful and safe as a bend, a loop, and as a binding knot.

[@rhmayer1]

Only tightening on one side is why he pre-tightned the left/ampersand side. As long as you pre-tighten that side, what you end up with should be close enough. Life is OK if one side is a little tightened compared to the other. I like the adjustability feature since I like it tighter when I'm up and walking around in my sweats and looser when I'm relaxing on the couch or taking a nap. It's nice to make quick adjustments without constantly untying and re-tying.

IMPORTANT: The right side bend needs to be shaped as shown, with the "working end" on top. If you shape it with the working end on the bottom, this knot will not stay tight with many line materials.

I have also a flat band on my current adidas pants. I tighten more in two steps: I hold the top loop and and move it to the left to have the loose bit on the right side of the pants. Then pulling on the right end. It currently works well. If the band is sawn in one probably has to play with the loops a bit before pulling it tight.

[@josevitorlobo517]

It's actually quite simple (if you're familiarized with knots) The first part you use your left side string and point going to the right. You'll bring it backwards and underneath to do the first loop, and then, still under, bring it back to make the &. Now, while holding the left one, you take the right one, just folded, and take it inside the top loop from underneath and the bottom loop will go inside of it. Make sure the tip of the left string doesn't go in, it was giving me trouble in the first trials. So I would hold the bottom loop and the loose end of the left string, and then you can pull the loose end of the right string. To have it open and close it's literally what he shows in the vid, hold the loop and end of the left one and pull, now you can pull the long end to tighten, and to loosen you just pull the other side
