Hi, just curious not any serious question 😃

Just because I like the look of the tweedle bend - I wonder if anyone have an idea to double it - in any direction and still looks similar but bigger.

Thanks

Hi Knutern,  
do you mean Tweedledee bend (Roger Miles A24)?  
you can try to double the 2 constrictor knot structures of the bend (do you see the Constrictor in the Tweedledee bend?). You will obtain a tripled Tweedledee indeed if you’ll double the structure from both ends (it’s not easy to dress it well).  
Ciao,  
s.

The only reference to “tweedle bend” in the IGKT is the [Tweedledee Bowline](http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=3989.0), which has pictures you could study to “bendize” the bowline.

maybe just double it like doing a retraced figure eight

yes, just double it retracing with the working ends.  
I talked about the constrictor structure, because to remember the structure of the Tweedledee bend I tie a Constrictor in the bight ([ABoK](https://discourse.igkt.net/t/9845) #1251) and then open it…

## [edit] please read this (Ruby you know 🙂 ) [http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=3989.msg28113#msg28113](http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=3989.msg28113#msg28113) and following reply by X1…

Hi - I’m thinking of the knot mention in this thread: [http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=1919.0](http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=1919.0)

Not kind of ruby method I was looking for, but more like the knot being lengthwise double. Maybe it’s just impossible.

Not quite what I first asked for, but since it may be somehow related - what would be the most cool thing about this is if there is possible to make a paracord that looks like many tweedle dee bends stack on top of each other.

Perfectly 🙂  
You just did what I thaught 😃

Does that one takes a lot of threading - or is there a easy way to make it really long?
