How easy it is to tie a secure locking knot that won't come loose. Ideal for knitting brooms.

Currently there a bunch of different types of nodes. But remembering at least a couple, if necessary, is far from always possible.

And not every node is suitable in a given situation.

For example, to securely fix the branches of the bath broom better use tightening knot.

Learning to tie it is easy enough, even a beginner can handle it without problems. How to do it? Consider below.

To show the process of tying a knot more clearly, instead of branches of a broom let's take a polypropylene pipe and a twine of a bright color.

First, we will fix one end of the rope on a fixed support, this will facilitate the process of tying the knot.

Then we pull the rope over the pipe and press it with your thumb.

Next, we do one turn around the pipe and wind the rope over your finger.

Then thread the rope through the loopformed on the finger.

And we are slowly tightening it.

The result is a knot that tourists call stirrup.

Its essence is simple

. When tightened, the ends of the rope are crossed diagonally from above by the rope. This diagonal prevents the ends from popping out.

With rotational movements back and forth, the knot tightens very quickly. But, unfortunately, it is quite easy to untie.

Therefore, one more movement must be made.

The end of the rope must be inserted into the loop, as shown in the photo above, and under the diagonal formed simple knot.

When tightened, a simple knot overlaps with a diagonal.

It holds very well on round objects. The node is called constrictor.
