How to Tie a Good Luck Knot

Video Transcript

"Now I'm going to show you a great ornamental knot. It?s called a Good Luck knot. It doesn't really have a lot of practical uses. It?s just very pretty. If we look down here, you'll see that I've got my line, and I've just gone ahead and put a bite in it, like so. And what I'm going to do, is try to keep these lines parallel as well. And pull another one in, right here. And you want to make sure when you are starting off, is that you have enough to work with. And I'm going to do the same here, pulling some out. Trying to make sure that all three of these lines are bites that I'm making here, are of equal length. And as you can see, I've more or less accomplished it there. Now what I'm going to do, is I'm going to take my two working ends, and I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to bring them over. And pull them over this first one here. Trying to keep everything good and symmetrical here, and together. And there we go, and I'm going to take this end up over this side here. Over the top. Over these two lines and over the top one that I've made. Just try to keep that one in here. And bring this one down over this one that I've just crossed it with and then I'm going to cross this one over again. Kind of creating this square as I'm going along here. What I'm going to do, is I'm going to pull a square under this one here, then as I pull this here, you'll see that it creates, or is referred to as the Good Luck Knot. If you pull a little bit more, that's how it should look."
