How to Tie a Boa Knot

Video Transcript

Now another great knot that is really new to the scene of knotting is called the Boa knot. Now when I say its new, it was invented somewhere in the mid sixties and that's really new when you compare that most of these knots are really timeless. If you look down here, I'm going to show you how I do this here. And I'm going to go ahead and take my line that I've got here. And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to make a loop. Lets pull out a little bit more. Just make a loop like so. I'm going to double; make another double loop right over the top of that. So if you make this wider, I'm actually going to make this a lot wider. It comes up to it, so lets just do this again, make a loop, make a double loop, right over the top of that loop. Now what we're going to do, we're going to take this, and we're going to twist it like so and take my working end and twist my working end as well. Twist it like so. Now you can see I've got it, I've twisted this into a nice figure eight. Now what I'm going to do, is I'm going to take my piece of wood that I've got here. And I'm going to slide it over and then over and then under and then over again. Keeping this tight, you can see that the, you can see my little x pattern coming in to be. Coming into being. And as I pull it, oops pulled it out of the string there. There we go. And as I pull, it make a nice tight knot that will just not slip out.
