Pineapple knot- 12 lead 12 bight

Let’s tie a proper pineapple knot!

I already demonstrated how to tie a pineapple knot out of a 5L4b turk’s head.

In the video tutorial below I feature a tutorial on making a 12L12B pineapple knot, which is larger and in my opinion much more useful than the smaller brother. It can be tied onto handles as a decorative knot or around spherical objects.

You can get the best look for the knot when you tighten it around an object such as a wooden ball or ball bearing. You can then see why this knot is called the pineapple knot!
