How to tie a globe knot

In this tutorial I show you a way to make a globe knot big enough to cover marbles and ball bearings, as well as how to make this knot a bit bigger by doubling the cords used. Originally, this method of tying the knot was shown by J.D.Lenzen, but I modified it a bit for easy tying.
In general, globe knots come in a variety of sizes. They are defined by facets or crossings. A globe knot with more facets is usually larger and will be able to cover a larger object. They can be quite interesting to use and explore.
To tie this knot you can also use the following tutorial:

The cord you need depends on the number of passes you are going to make. I'd say take 4 or more feet for a single pass on your first go.

[@linwei-lee1738]

Thank you! I'm just starting to learn how to use paracord, and your videos do a wonderful job of breaking down complex knots into a series of simple steps.

[@WreckitRalphie]

is there a way to figure out how many faces are needed to cover certain size spheres?

[@siro935]

It was very easy to understand and it was helpful. I will try to utilize it immediately. Thank you.

[@BHZchowChow]

Great video but how do I do that knot at the end of a rope

[@MalcolmMorris]

It's that little bit at 4:40 where you say 'tighten the knot around the core' where I go from perfect to a tangled mess... ;-/

[@Paracordguild]

+Malcolm Morris Hehe, keep at it :). You will get it. Mark

[@attepitkanen7358]

+Malcolm Morris same here, that tightening is hard part! But still, should be doable :) in fact, just did this and tightening must be done slowly, and It'll turn out fine

[@MalcolmMorris]

yes. it worked for me too after a couple of tries. patience is the key..

[@MrBlack751]

A late thought, you can also use a smaller mandrel. That is what worked for me on the smaller (tiny) globe knots.

[@daddystinky2011]

So far this is the best "how to " video on the globe knot that I've seen. Thank you for keeping it simple and short enough that I can watch it the 15 times it will take me to get it right. Ha! Seriously though, well done and thanks.

[@neesiedavis4062]

I totally agree!

[@perpulhaiz]

Great tutorial! Easily one of the best I've seen.

[@cjwhite7801]

Woulda been helpful if you had shown how to tighten it. I tried it 3 times and every time it ruined the whole thing…

[@imageblogger2142]

I found this difficult. Each time I'd go through, step by step, one cord on the left would be over, the other under. Still working on where I'm going wrong. Great project though. I'm intending to use a 22mm or 7/8" ball. Thanks Mark

[@jimmiehall1725]

You do the best tutorials

[@remainOne2C]

thank you so much your description was very helpful

[@negroprietocoqueto]

gracias de esta forma es mucho mas sencillo GRACIAS

[@LFOD7491]

This is very difficult to follow without the ends being marked in a different color.

[@jross008470]

This was pretty cool I've never seen this b4 u r a great teacher! Thank you for posting this! Till next time.

[@Octoyaki28]

I know it’s just a skill issue but this knot is so damn annoying.

[@markvogel6531]

My mom loved it congratulations. I especially loved the end result

[@bowlineobama]

I can't see the ends of your rope. I can't tell which end you are looping back. The cam needs to move back a bit so that I can see the whole picture.

[@atlanticyak2069]

Did not show the knot advertised in picture. Dont do that

[@saraSara-ns3te]

Really excellent instruction. Thankyou!

[@djmj12714]

Is it the number of initial turns that determines the number of facets?

[@sergeyseverin316]

[@ashishnagawekar1323]

Can you please help me for a not, I want to put a marbel in that knot as you did in the video,but marble should be visible from out side and it should not fall from that knot, I try to make but marble is not visible from outside ,please help me🙏🙏🙏

[@Paracordguild]

Hey there! Often times this knot is used for that purpose: www.paracordguild.com/3l4b-turks-head-tutorial The marble is seen from the outside. Mark

[@PatChino]

So I've been trying for the 8th time this Bullshit of globe knot now and I just do everything exactly as in this video, until I need to tighten the globe around my marble and it always looks horrible after. I wonder if people here really tried it or just watching the video for entertainment. This method is not working at all. spend almost 3h hours doing this shit and its always wrong in the end.

[@arvindshukla8244]

thing looks very complicated and it is ,but you made it very easy. You are great person

[@Paracordguild]

+Arvind Shukla Thank you for being so kind! Have a great day! Mark

[@dakellymon]

Well done, great video.

[@samiagul2007]

I've never seen as easy as this video before. 👍👍👍

[@UnratedMinds]

Any chance, a knot like this could cover a wine cork? I just ordered some I was hoping to make fender key fobs out of.

[@BuddBaker]

How much cord do you start with?

[@dday2086]

May I ask how many passes for a 1 inch core? or length of cord I should start with?

[@Paracordguild]

dday2086 Hey there! The core I used for this demonstration was probably around 3/4 inches, so I would assume you would need 3 or 4 passes. At that point you could also try a larger globe knot. The thing with globe knots is that there are many versions, with different numbers of faces. You may also like cylindrical turk's heads for covering various objects (the pineapple, herringbone and gaucho knots all look very nice). Mark

[@darthlively]

Very impressive and inlighting thank you

[@higherkhaos1431]

Great job on this video! You make it look so easy!!!!

[@nicolasdejardin3412]

6 years later, this tutorial is still active and used. I've used your idea of "diamond knot" as a 'spherical core'. Result is a not bad for a key ring/key fob (1 colour only) Thanks from France 🇫🇷👍

[@bajagadget]

How much cord do you start with?

[@saifuddinahmad1010]

Ridiculously hard to tighten it. Even after my 10th try i still cant get it. It always left me with 1 space extremely uneven. At the verge of giving up.

[@triumphmanful]

I want to do a golf ball (1.5 inches across ) . How much cord do I need to do the double cord shown at the end of your video ? Does the pipe tube need to be 1.5 inches too or larger ? Also I want an added length for a good lanyard to swing it for self defense. Thanks.

[@RSAN46]

great video! thanks

[@patgal6571]

Nono!!!! Cortés el video! lo contaste

[@elenacruz7203]

[@ryanmfoto]

what brand & color is that at the beginning of the vid? the ones i’ve ordered in that color aren’t even close when they arrive

[@LosPonitex]

Nice , got many meters brand new rope , i will try to make this.

[@sooney001]

You make it look so easy. But I've yet to try.😅😅😅

[@alexis.pellegrinelli6pelle732]

lol ses mon prochain porte clés

[@muhariksunari2578]

very good. i like it.

[@konukuauleki]

is there a guideline to know how much lead will one need according to the size of the ball or size desired?

[@richardbaker5974]

hi. I saw that you used a bit of pipe to help make the globe knot. I was wondering what size pipe is needed for the size of the marble.

[@Blakehx]

Cool thanks! Is there some type of ball knot that is solid rope (not hollow), and doesn't need a core?

[@cooke2585]

2 hours trying to do this didn’t work

[@chris241257]

***** Thank you for the kind comment! Mark

[@wallypizza323]

Wrapped it perfect twice, lost it both times trying to tighten it

[@Battlewear]

Great video, loved the use of the mandrel, Ive done that know with OUT the mandrel and its a pain, that looks MUCH easier! Will be doing that the next time. What size was that tubing?

[@66FitzJohn]

How does one expand for larger globes? More starting rows?

[@WOWKNOTS]

WOW:) I'm going to learn how to knit these knots :)
