How the HELL does that pretzel knot in the beginning get tied, am I missing something 😂

I'm the same ...stuck at the pretzel knot

How did you snug up the ends? Do you just pull the ends through as a whole or ?

[@ArmchairOutdoors]

If I understand your question correctly, the ends will begin to snug up as the slack is worked out of the rug little by little. After working the excess back into the rug each time the ends became shorter and I was fortunate enough that the ends of my rope rug ended up symmetrical. I then cut off the excess which was only about 3 or 4 feet. As for how to work the ends back into the weave I would pull one end through at a time and only in straight paths until there was nothing left and then do the same with the other end. Hopefully that answers your question.

@@ArmchairOutdoors Yes that actually did help and I did actually figure it out over the last hour just playing around with it boy is this tedious but it is worth it The next one I do will hopefully be better

@@chad4853 Wonderful! I'm glad that helped. It really is a bit tedious but does get easier as you go along. Glad you are taking the time to make a rug!

Hei. Lovely video. Can you tell me what how much rope did you use for the blue one?

Angela, I used a 70 meter climbing rope. :)
