Another way to tie the Matthew Walker Knot is to lay the strands in successive
Overhand Knots.
STEP 1 Use one strand to make an Overhand Knot.
STEP 2 Continue making Overhand Knots with each consecutive strand.
As you pull on the strands to tighten the knot, make sure you do it gradually and
evenly. The outer bights must be coaxed into place to wrap around the knot in the
proper form. Gently brush them with your hand to assist them in wrapping all the way
around the knot, while gradually and evenly taking out slack.
