How to Tie a Square Knot
Click here to watch a video tutorial.
Tying a square knot is as easy as right over left, left over right. Here’s how:
- Hold an end of the rope in each hand.
- Pass the right end over and under the rope in your left hand.
- Pass the rope end now in your left hand over and under the one now in your right.
- Tighten the knot by pulling both running ends at the same time.
The square knot has many uses, from securing bandages and packages to joining two ropes together. A square knot works best when pressed against something else and the ropes are of the same diameter. It should not be used to hold a heavy load.
Thanks man. I needed to help my son do this for a scouting event, and this really helped

I have been struggling to learn this knot from other websites and online drawings to attach new threads for beading. Your description and graphic is the first clear and simple information I have found. Thank you!
