Yes, the latter of what you say is what I meant. The two single knots can be slid together forming a Double Fisherman’s knot.
It is just a silly knotted structure I had thought of, just to illustrate my point, in the simplest possible way, of how you can increase or decrease the turns of the helical coil in a [i]Helical loop[/i] (1)(2).It is totally useless, I guess - but who knows ? Perhaps somebody will find a use for it in the future…
It is PET -1 - if you consider the straight line as the ( most simple possible ) continuation of the Standing End !
The way I untied it yesterday I ended up with an overhand knot in my hand, then I could not quite remember how I tied it the bight. Maybe I wasn’t concentrating when I untied it somehow. Still trying to remember how I tied it to check again ![]()
