Flipping the Double Coin

Double Coin Knot

A decorative variant of the Carrick Bend, the Double Coin Knot’s structure and elegant simplicity make it the perfect base for multiple fusion knots. This was the knot that introduced me to the world of decorative knots.

Knot Components: Historical Knot

1. Make a clockwise P with the ascending rope on top the loop created.

2. Drop the right running end down over the loop of the P.

3. Bight the running end and weave it under the “leg” of the P, over…

4. …the rope above it, under the top of the P, and then over itself.

5. Tuck the bight under the bottom of the P.

6. Pull the running end out until the knot is firm.

Cloud Knot

The Cloud Knot branches off the Double Coin Knot in an innovative and seldom realized way. The knot is created via a weaving technique that can be applied to a variety of knots, making them appear more elaborate.
