You can make it by passing each strand around and under its neighbour, working anticlockwise, with
the last strand being passed upwards through the bight of the first strand (figure 151.1). If you are
working in the end of a rope, unlay the rope to the required length, and work the wall with the lay.
Unlike the crown knot, the strands of the wall will all emerge from the top (figure 151.2). Like the

crown though, this is seldom used on its own; see manrope, double wall knot and Matthew Walker
knot.

Wall plait: a continuation from the wall knot (see page 187), it is formed without a central heart by
forming one wall knot after another. As with the wall and crown plait, no more than four strands can

be used to form the plait (figure 152).

Weaver’s knot: used to join a fresh piece of wool onto a broken end.
