Owl62 13 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Does anyone know where or how the giving and wearing of Friendship Knots started? Also, does anyone have instructions on how to easily tie the Friendship Knot. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Please don't quote me on this as I am not 100% sure. I think that there are two knots that are being called the Friendship Knot. One is in fact a crown knot and is often used by Girl Scouts and Girl Guides in place of a nekerchief slide or woggle. The other is a two strand lanyard knot that is also known as the sailor's lanyard knot or the Bosun's whistle knot. The crown knot is not very hard to tie but the other one does take a little practice. You might want to take a look at The Ashley Book Of Knots. Eamonn Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
Owl62 13 Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 In addition to the regular Friendship knots, I recently saw some "double" Friendship knots. They had two strands in each run in the knot rather than one. Does anyone have instructs for these? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
cougar24 10 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I found this page when I was searching for a "how to tie" the friendship knot. This was the best page I found. http://www.e-scoutcraft.com/string/friendship_knot.html Link to post Share on other sites
