PLAITS,

SENNITS

AND

LASHINGS

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A plait is made up of a number of strands of

rope intenvoven in a simple, repeating pattern,

while a sennit is created by a more complex

pattern. Both create decorative knots, as well as

strong lengths of rope. Lashing is used most often

to bind together poles. Also included in this

section are a few knots that are so attractive that

you'll want use them for their appearance alone.
