Whipping Knots
               To keep the end of a rope from unraveling, you can solder it, but since the inner
               and outer materials are different, they will quickly detach from each other. The
               most efficient solution, of course, is to encase the end in such a way that the
               strings are pulled together as tightly as possible.

               Symbolic Knots
               Finally, here are two knots that make a nice pair. They are not “useful” in the
               strict sense, since their value lies elsewhere. They are simply quite elegant and
               sailors wanted to give a name to their creations.

               • Sailor’s Cross Knot
