If you mean a regular slip knot, I can help. You start out by looping a strand of yarn around your finger. Then,you slip it off, keeping the loop intact. You take string from the yarn on the right side of the loop and lay it across the loop. Pull it through the loop, closing it. The yarn should be poking out, and should closely resemble a noose. And then, you're done. As a cautionary note, I would like to add that if you pull on either side of the knot at once, then the knot will slip apart, hence the name 'slip knot.' So, be careful!

The sliding knot is made by placing your line around the line or other piece you wish it to slide on, and then making multiple Square Knots (not Granny Knots). Make at least 3, but you can extend this to more, for looks, just being sure to make each the same size as the before it. The last must be tied off tightly, and is the only difficult part of making this ropework.

The first step is to hold whatever being tied by both hands roughly a shoulder width apart. Bring your hands together in a way that will cause the rope to cross over and create a circle and hold the rope at the point that it crosses over itself. Put one hand through the loop and grab hold of the rope on the side of the opposite hand and pull that rope through. This will now create a knot in the rope with a noose-like end which can be secured to whatever is desired.

Why does a knot tied with jute thread not slip easily as compared to silk tread?

The fibrous surface of the jute thread has high friction, so the knot doesn't slip easily. Silk thread is smooth and has low friction, so the knot may easily slip - the same goes for nylon thread.


When i knit do i have to make a slip knot?

I take it that your problem with the slip knot is that it is too tight on the edge when the piece is finished. Yes, you must have a slip knot to start the work, but instead of counting that slip knot stitch as your stitch, simply add an extra stitch in the opposite direction and don't work the original slip knot. The advantage of this method is that the entire work will be an even edging without that annoying "pull" to the edge.So what to do with that dangly stitch? When you are done, untie the slip knot, and weave it into the selvage it is on. It eliminates the pull, hides the end, and you will be much happier with the results.The other option is to learn the double cast method of casting on. While it still involves a slip knot, it is at the other end of the row, and for me, it won't get too tight *because* it is at the other end. That is, I won't pull it too tight while I am knitting.
