Double slipped square knot

Secure shoelaces with this knot—rather than with the double slipped granny knot habitually

used by many people—and they are less likely to come inconveniently untied. Also use it in
ribbon or pretty string to giftwrap packages.

Tie a half-knot, left over right (1). Make a bight in each end and tie a second half-knot, right over
left (2), then pull both loops to tighten the knot (3, 4). Tug either end or both ends to undo it.
