THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK

Wall Knot
Generally, the Wall Knot is not tied on its own, but is the basis for other
knots, such as the Wall and Crown Knot, which is made by first tying a
Wall and then a Crown Knot. A continuous set of Wall Knots can cover
a cylindrical object.

1 In order to make the Wall Knot, you’ll need to separate the end of
the rope into three strands. Each of the strands is tucked upward
through the loop made by another strand.

2 Tighten the knot by pulling on the strands.

In preparing three-strand rope for multistrand knots, it is best to
whip the end of each strand and bind the rope itself with a Constrictor
Knot (see Chapter 8) to keep the strands from separating any further
down the rope.
