Good luck knot
This knot was likely used by sailors to make
decorative artefacts which they sold when they got
to port – or possibly to decorate their own cabins.
The large lobes on the good luck knot make it
unsuitable for keyrings or suchlike, but it can make
an attractive hanging ornament.
1 Fold the line in half, put in three bights, and arrange in a cross shape, as
shown.
