How to Tie the Square Knot

[@Hainbach]

This is the knot needed for wire recording splicing. Thanks for the calm explanation.

[@charlesmangum3108]

After all these years, I finally understand how to tie a square knot. Many thanks.

[@christinesandoval6477]

Exactly what I needed you made this look so simple. The other video's I tried made it difficult. Thanks for the simple steps. This will help me greatly!

[@burttschell]

Same happened to me. Tried another video but ended up doing wrong. Your video clarified for me. Thanx.

[@sanjayahlawat2826]

Deeply impressed with this video. Spent £7.50 ( $10.40) on The Knot Skills Kit which sent two different coloured ropes ( good quality) and instructions card- (utterly useless). Thank you for using two different coloured ropes, the uses of the knot, the benefits and the limitations of the knot, appropriate situations where it can be used and situations where it should not be used. High quality educational video. Subscribed after this first video.

Thank you! I have a scout and this kept it simple and easy for her to learn!

i've been trying to learn this from a book for 10 minutes, watched 20 seconds of the video and got it immediately, lol great vid

excellent demonstration. none of that confusing talk about trees and rabbit holes.

[@peteywheatstraws4909]

That's how they tried to explain it to us back in the early 80's.

[@MarineServices]

Shut .... Up

[@Ana_crusis]

that's because you're thinking of a bowline, not a reef knot, which is not confusing at all

[@ajs96350]

I did knot know this, now I do, thanks. I'll see my way out

[@vanpediem7641]

Admittedly knots are a weakness, always have been, possibly tied to dyslexia, who knows? Luckily we didn't tie too many knots when I was stationed on submarines back in the Cold War. So, taking this down time to challenge my weakness. Appreciate your strength, skills, and the vid!

[@WarBringerRedBeard]

Thanks! They recommended tying my kids lacrosse neck guard with a square knot. Simple and easy to follow instructions

[@DrArjunKataria]

love you so much... first time i knew the difference between 👵s knot and 🔲 knot.

[@Nico-nu4li]

This video is very helpful! 👍 I totally recommend this to beginners, sending hearts ❤️

[@icanseeclearlynow4355]

Alright! Alright! Alright! Thank you for helping me tie my dress!!

[@kathey1981]

Thank you so much for this slow video. My grandson is in wolf Cub scouts and he is just learning knots. The videos that they have go way too fast and just looking at the book totally confuses the both of us. Thank you so much for making this slow video tutorial. we also learned about the thief's knot. because I was just trying to get him to make the knot look this way, I probably was accidentally making the thief's not which would not have gotten him a good score with his cub master.

[@terrielliott6902]

You made something complicated so easy that it's unbelievable. Thank you for doing that !

[@michaelcoletta4547]

It's not all that complicated

[@cheykath]

This video was exactly what I needed! Thank you!

[@charliekeith5901]

Thank you for the right over left and left over right. Makes this knot easy to remember

[@Vinterfrid]

I'd say it's more confusing, but maybe that's the way Americans are being taught. I've been using this knot for 60 years and I learnt how to tie it by remembering that the part you first put over the other one also goes over again.

[@babytotingmama]

using this video to show my Cub Scouts how to do this knot! Thank you for a great video!

[@Ana_crusis]

jayzus!!

[@Solobangie812]

[@tommyharris5817]

Huge thanks. I've always used the granny knot and wondered why it wasn't secure when tying weights around my hips.

Love this knot for joining yarn together. I snip the ends very close and it blends in very well. I haven’t had one come apart ever! Thank you!

[@ngailing7042]

Thanks a lot

[@viper1431]

What does it mean by make sure the 2 terminal ends are on 1 side of the knot, or you may have made a thief knot. I'm watching the video on thief knots side by side with this one and i can't see any difference at all between the finished knots, even in the spot of the thief knot video where he's explaining the same thing about making sure it's not a square knot.

[@lengthmuldoon]

Always wondered what a reef knot was good for it was big in the scouts when I was a kid and I had no idea why.

[@rubyancheril8739]

Very clear......

Like this knot

[@henkjekel4081]

You can also tie it using a larks head

[@jasneskis]

I did it and it pulled right apart. I was using fishing nylon. Wasn’t very useful for uniting two pieces together.

[@BobHansler]

Use double sheet bend.

[@gooddoggo2258]

There are many knots specifically designed for fishing. Monofilament is much different from a rope so you use different knots.

[@JustineSHarrison]

silly me trying to tie a square knot w/ one line of rope. thanks for the reminder😂

[@dynastygeminilol]

i accidentally made a square knot on my niece's leg and immedientally went to the hospital when i was 4

[@ronsmith5004]

I don't know if Bob says it in the video, I don't have time to watch it. But I always remember how to tie a square not by committing to memory to always cross the lines left over right then right over left.

[@ronsmith5004]

I meant square knot, not not.

[@truffin4382]

Thanks Buddy

So which knot (tying two ropes) is the best for heavy duty usage?

[@BobHansler]

Double sheet bend.

@@BobHansler Ok, thanks. :)

[@burntsider8457]

Not only, be careful about using the square know, but always have an axe nearby to get it apart if it has had any tension on it.

[@bryantreacher5793]

This knot should only be tied in the two ends of the same rope it should never be tied in two different ropes

unless you need them to come off easily, this is what magicians use to tie their silks
