Synopsis

THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO KNOTS & KNOT TYING

Over 200 tying techniques, comprehensively illustrated in 1200 step-by-step photographs

This reference manual and practical handbook presents over 200 knots, illustrating how to tie them in step-by-step photographs and clear, detailed text.

All the key knot types are covered: bends, hitches, bindings, loops, mats, plaits, rings and slings. There are knots for many outdoor pursuits including fishing, sailing, caving and climbing. These include familiar knots, such as the simple Overhand or Thumb Knot, and more challenging knots such as the Wrapped & Reef Knotted Coil.

Each set of instructions is clearly written and accompanied by precise photographs that take you through every step of tying the knot.

Whether you are an eager beginner or a lifelong devotee of the satisfying art of knot-tying, this book will prove an absorbing and indispensable guide.
