Double helix keyring

Just when you’ve got the hang of tying a nicely

balanced Solomon bar, we turn it all upside down
and ask you to tie an unbalanced Solomon bar. But

then when you’re trying to imitate the structure of
DNA in rope, nothing’s straightforward…

1 Take two 20in (51cm) length of cord and pass the ends through a ring.

The short ends represent the length of the intended keyring, in this case

4in (10cm).
