Square Knot

You know how you tie your shoes, right? Well, that’s one of the perfect
examples of square knots! Square knots are generally known to be binding
knots but are often used together with half knots for security. It could be
used to cover sails, or to tie tags or decors on a string for decorative

purposes, or for gifts.
