It’s the biggest braid, between the two diamonds knots, before the star knot.
I’ve tried to contact the author of this blog without success. And it’s the only place I know which speak about a “Round braid 2x3”.
I guess it’s a 6 strands braid but it’s all…
I thank in advance anyone who can help me tie this braid
Indeed, crown sennit seem related on the 2x3 round braid.
I expected to find the solution with the # 2925. It could also be a way to get a Corkscrew Crown Sinnet 6 strands.
However, it is not identical to the round braid 2x3… :-[
I too have continued to look, to help you.
Attached is a small picture where I’ve overlaid another example to the one you linked to.
If you believe they are the same, here is a link to a description that may help. http://www.stairropes.com/keyrings.html
The braid in the manrope keyring at the page bottom.
Thanks for your research !
It was a moment I was looking for a solution and I started to run around in circles …!
The braid before manrope knot looks very similar to mine. Only tightening seems a little different.
Do you have the name of this braid or the way to tie it ?
Try this link to a four strand sennit and look at the drawing for the alternating left and right crown. http://igkt-solent.co.uk/members-work/?wppa-occur=1&wppa-album=3&wppa-photo=52
Also, the picture I inserted earlier into the picture you linked to shows a wall and crown alternative. One crown, then one wall and so on and so on.
Dressing these can be tight or loose.
Give it a test run.
Ipo,
Here are a couple more things for you to try. I looked in the Encyclopedia of Knots and Fancy Rope Work by Graumont and Hensel, and I found two braids that look VERY similar to what you want. The first one is is Figure 310, Plate 130 found on page 258. It is called the CombinationClew Hitch sennit. The other one is Figure 414, Plate 136 found on page 271 with description on page 273. It is called A Six-Strand angular Weave Sennit. I could not find a description of a clew hitch to assist you though. Can’t hurt to check them out eh?
Will it be possible to send me a scan of the pages you were talking about?
It would be really cool of you!

Ipo,
I will try to scan the pictures for you, but it is not easy to see them in the book so I don’t hold high hopes for the scan to be very clear but I WILL try it in the morning. I’m lousy tired from work and errands and will do a bad job if I try tonight.
Ipo,
Sorry that the images suck, but they are very small in the book too. Number 310 really does look a lot like the one you posted. However, I am not sure that my pictures will be useful to you at all but did what I could. Try to get your hands on a copy of that book. It is a treasure trove. Good luck.
Ipo,
That is the one thing about this book that is NOT good. It does not really teach or give instructions for most of the items and the one it gives with sennit 310 is just about as useless as the pictures I posted but here goes.
“The [i]Combination Clew Hitch Sennit [i] represents a series of Six-Strand Clew Hitches”
See what i mean? I have combed through the book trying to find what he means by a Clew Hitch but can’t seem to find out just what that is. Maybe someone else can jump in from here and help us out??? I will keep trying to find a description of a clew hitch and get back to you if I find anything. If you find out what it is please let me know because I think this is a great looking sennit. I am tempted to say that clew hitches relate to the types of clews made for hammocks. Maybe this is a type of spiraling punch or wrought mat? Good luck and keep me posted. I will also keep you posted if I find out anything more that might be useful. Do you have the Clifford Ashley Book of Knots? If so then look at #2963 and see if this can’t be made to do what the 2x3 sennit is doing.
It is the term 2 x 3 that confuses me, I am wondering if what is really meant is that there are 6 strands and these are paired to make 3 pairs each with two cords. The pairs are then crowned. not having any simular cord to hand I have only tied this in some paracord I was working with, maybe someone else can give it a try. Do not know if i am helping or not?
I agree with you. The term 2x3 disrupts myself too
If you look carefully, the rope of bag whose I talk is a 6 strand rope.
First, I’ve believed 2x3 correspond to the braid #2926. After making a try, I don’t think so but this guy (http://touline-iledere.com/) is convinced that #2926 is the 2x3 braid… ???
Then, I’ve tried #2925. It’s a very beautiful crowned braid but it’s not the 2x3…!
Yes ABOK 2926 was the knot i was attempting to describe, but was to lazy to look up. you do get a 2 x 3 combination of the strands. and when tied does have a good look and a rope-like twist.
