               You can make it by passing each strand around and under its neighbour,
               working anticlockwise, with the last strand being passed upwards through
               the bight of the first strand (figure 151.1). If you are working in the end of
               a rope, unlay the rope to the required length, and work the wall with the
               lay. Unlike the crown knot, the strands of the wall will all emerge from the
               top (figure 151.2). Like the crown though, this is seldom used on its own;

               see manrope, double wall knot and Matthew Walker knot.

               Wall plait: a continuation from the wall knot (see page 187), it is formed
               without a central heart by forming one wall knot after another. As with
               the wall and crown plait, no more than four strands can be used to form

               the plait (figure 152).
