CHAPTER 1

Carrick Bend Mat Knot

The turns and crossings of this mat-knot resemble an old nautical knot known as the "carrick bend," used for joining cables or hawsers.

Make a left (clockwise) loop with the working end. Make a second left (clockwise) loop on top of the first.

Form a bight and weave the working end [over, under] twice, forming the third loop.

Complete the fourth loop by weaving the working end over, under once; one turn is complete. Continue following the path of the first turn to desired number of turns.

The two sides of a dressed three-turn knot.

CHAPTER 2

Turk's Head Mat Knot

A vast family of knots bears the Turk's head name, taken from the turban it supposedly resembles. This one takes three turns and has five bights.

With the working end, make two left (clockwise) loops, one on top of the other. Forming a bight, weave the working end over, under, over.

On other side, form a bight and weave the working end [under, over] twice.

Form the final bight, bringing the working end under and up next to the standing end. Continue following the path of the first turn to desired number of turns.

The two sides of a dressed three-turn knot.
