figure 149.2

Wall and crown plait: a continuation from the wall and crown knot (see

page 184), whereby instead of cutting the ends short at the completion of
the knot, you continue to form alternate wall and crown knots to make a
plait (figure 150). If this is being made around a cylindrical object, the ends
of the strands can be made secure by seizing them to the object.

NB the wall and crown plait cannot be made with more than four strands.

Walling: we have illustrated the wall knot as formed at the end of a
length of three-stranded rope. However, you can wall any number of
strands and to demonstrate this, figure 149.1 of the wall and crown knot

shows the wall formed from four strands. The same method is used for
any number of strands, with each strand being passed around under its
neighbour working anticlockwise, with the last strand passed up through
the bight of the first; see also continuous walling.

Wall knot: often referred to as ‘a wall’, this knot is quite simply a crown
knot (see page 57) made upside down.
