The Knotted Ring

As a perfect follow-up to "Knots
that are Not," a bracelet or a curtain
ring can be tied to the center of a
cord, only to drop free when you pull
the ends.
Run the cord through the ring from
left to right (fig. 1). Tie a loose over-
hand knot above (fig. 2) and bring
the right end below the ring, thrusting
it through the ring as indicated by the
arrow (fig. 2).
Carry the end under the cord, bring
it up and push it down through the
original loop as shown by the arrow
(fig. 3). Pull the ends of the cord in fig. 1
opposite directions. The ring will
drop from the cord as the knot
dissolves.
