update,
new video with two different ways to tie!
Al
aka friendship knot, cross knot
merry Christmas
(no audio, turn on subtitles)
edit: upon closer inspection, this knot is different from ABoK knots (808, 809, 1032, 1066),
i was tying a chain of them - the Australian way and the ABoK way - and had a heap of confusion as to why they weren’t dressing quite right, though identical at the front.
looking at the backs, they were clearly different.
Thanks for sharing alana.
Season’s greetings.

back to ABoK 808,
upon flattening / smoothing out the ABoK 808 to base knots,
there appears to be
three loops in a row = a single-strand version of ABoK 810,
which dresses up to form a crown knot too
still on about ABoK 808,
another deconstruction in-bight of this crown knot reveals a lucky eights 88 shape!,
when flattened,
which inverts to this 2-bight, multi-pass bead,
but i can’t show working,
i don’t know how to get to it,
I’ve gotten there twice
a few months later…
update,
new tying steps
includes left-handed demo
see the knot that contains tying instructions written in it!
((( gonggg )))
it’s world knot tying day 2025!
updated yet again,
easy lanyard knot / new way to tie
and … updated again, as Siriuso pointed out that Owen Nuttall had described and published this in 1987, here it is!
Hi Alana
This tying method is mentioned in KM18 (Winter 1987) p.16 by Nuttall.
Happy knotting

pointed out by Siriuso, i see i have tied it sort of upside down,
i should redo the demo, as tied by Owen
