THE ASHLEY BOOK OF KNOTS

The knots of the next few pages may be tied in braid and em-

ployed as FROG KNOTS, or they may be tied in stiff material, either

double or single, and employed as TERMINAL KNOTS on lanyards,

231S trumpet cords, etc. A few of these knots are original, a number

are from Bocher, others are from Japanese and Chinese lantern cords

and several are from trumpet cords and military uniforms.

2315,2317,2318. These will make symmetrical LANYARD KNOTS if

the loop at the top bight of the knot is cut (to make two cord:;).

2316. A six-sided compartment in this sort of knot, if sym-

metrically arranged, is no detriment.

2319, 2320. Ring and bandmaster frogs are always required in

•
paIrs.

2321, 2322, 2323. The three of these start with the same basic

knot and have a pyramidal form. They are not truly symmetrica~

but the irregularity is internal and the outline is regular. All three are

very common knots, and are used oftener than many that are more

symmetrical.

2324. An elementary knot.

2325. Bocher calls this "MORS DU CHEVAL."

2326, 2327, 2328, 2329. These were titld in parallel parti-colored

wires on lantern cords.

2330, 2331. From Bocher.

2332. An attempt to make a PECTORAL KNOT from which to sus-

pend a carved Chinese "semiprecious" stone ornament. It was tied in

a doubled silk cord. A more satisfactory knot was made in two

planes (j!6 843).

2333. From Bocher.

2334. From the end of a bugle cord by Seiderman Bros. of Phila-

delphia. The knot was drawn up so that it was practically cirCular.

2335. Another nearly circular knot.

2336. A SQUARE LEAF FORM. These knots make handsome frogs or,

if tied in round stiff material, excellent terminals for light-cords and

window-shade pulls.

2337. A MAPLE LEAF.

2338, 2339, 2340, 2341. Tied in flat braid, these may be used as

2.32.1 corner ornaments on band coats or they may be used in round stiff

cord as PECTORAL KNOTS from which to suspend lockets or other

ornaments.

2342. A knot similar to j!6 2 340, but this has the lower corner re-

moved. It will make an equally effective knot tied in stiff narrow

braid or stiff round cord. .
