Double Coin Knot

Here is our favorite knot! This Asian knot symbolizing
prosperity has been used as a decorative knot for thousands
of years. We like it because it presents potential loops on
each corner where ropes can pass through, making it ideal
as a central knot for an unlimited variety of rope harnesses.
It’s also a flat knot that is comfortable to wear and lie upon.
Plus it makes anyone look like a rope Master.
