Knots are one of those things that are always useful.
The Turks Head Neckerchief Slide is an easy and pretty way to start with knots, and the result is a pretty neckerchief slide you can always bring with you. Also, if you do it with paracord, you can also bring 6 feet of paracord in your pocket. And if you don’t like to use it as neckerchief slide, you can use it as a keychain ball.
Its really easy to create. You’ll only need…
- Approximately 6 ft of nylon rope (preferably a bright snazzy color)
- A pen or pencil to help tie stopper knots. (optional)
- Scissors and a candle to trim and fuse the ends of the rope
Here are some resources to practice…
