millwright Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Where could I find the o/u pattern for the 2nd pass pineapple interweave for a 4 bight turk's head? I can do the first pass ok, following the left string going up and the right going down, splitting pairs, but the 2nd pass (I've never done), I'm not following how the pattern works. Here's what I'm thinking, the last u3 of the first interweave puts you to the left, along side, the first interweave starting point. Now, from there you go o2 following the string to the left which is the first interweave, right? If that's right, here's where I'm confused when it comes to what x to cross at the top. It seems when I go across to start down, I could have the string that was on the left going up, either on the left or right of my string when I'm going down...depending on what x I cross. What string on the right do I follow going down? Now you're confused too. Basically, how do you do the 2nd pass. I'm sure this isn't explained very well, but maybe someone can make a little something out of it and point me in the right direction. Thanks, Bret.

KnotHead Report post Posted February 28, 2015 This pdf file will help you. http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=51355314563382013929 I had to use an file host for this one. The file was too large to upload here. The tutorial is by Brett Hasket. Brian... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millwright Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks Brian but I couldn't get it to download. I get the "user not found" create a "free account", give us your credit card number, and that makes me nervous. It's possible I'm not doing something right too. I'm not good with computers. I think Bruce Grant tells how to do 2 passes for his 6 bight heel knot, so it should be basically the same idea/pattern with the 4 bight. I'll look into that and tie a 6 bight and try the 2nd pass on that 6b to get familiar with the pattern. I have Tom Hall's intro to turk's head that I need to look through too. I'm being lazy I guess, asking for someone to show/tell me how instead of looking/digging it up myself. Thank you for your help Brian. Appreciate it, Bret.

KnotHead Report post Posted February 28, 2015 Are you trying to work a 5part 4bight casa knot with a 3pass pineapple interweave? If so, I just uploaded a tutorial done by my good friend bud brewer whom is now long since passed. It's a pdf showing how to do the interweave to a 5part 4bight turks head.

millwright Report post Posted February 28, 2015 That's exactly what I've got Brian. The first pass/interweave is o1/u1 (that's what I think it's called), you can make another pass, 2nd pass/interweave o2/u2,(I think you can) and that's what I'm trying to do. Maybe you can't do another interweave, I'm not sure but I thought you could. I saw a guy building up the foundation on a quirt lanyard to get the size knot he wanted, and tied a 4 bight over 3 pineapple, so I'm assuming it's the same knot I'm trying but I'm at the over 2 part. I'm at exactly the spot in the next to the last pic, the one before he has the knot tight and dressed, and would like to make another pass....I'm stuck. I haven't had/made time to look for it anymore. Thanks for the download, Bret. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millwright Report post Posted March 1, 2015 I'll bet that'll do it for me! That's great, thanks Brian. This isn't a 4 bight but it should be relatively the same, right? I'm going to try it and see if it works. Bret Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KnotHead Report post Posted March 1, 2015 That should help you out. You're just doing a smaller interweave is all. Brian... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
