Trinity (Celtic) Knot

The Trinity Knot is a variation of a traditional triangle knot
drawn by the ancient Celtic scribes. Elegant and complex
in appearance, it is an excellent knot for a chest harness.
The two corner loops are perfect for accepting each end of
the ropes that come out the third corner when wrapped
around the body. It’s also the knot used to form the
front/top portion of the Rope Panty.
