Members Braidin Cows Posted March 13, 2011 Members Report Posted March 13, 2011 Hello, I was wondering if anyone could direct me where to find or if they had directions for a 4 strand ring knot. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. I appreciate all the effort everyone puts into this forum. Quote

Just about the same, but this has the strings going all the way through the body of what you are putting the button on vs just under a single string or two. If because of the core it is impracticable to push straight through the body you can put it under 2 or 3 strings to get them coming out at 90deg angles. Quote
Members roo4u Posted March 14, 2011 Members Report Posted March 14, 2011 well i mostly use the 2 strand knot and i always put it thru the middle of the braid so that it cant shift at all. the 4 strand version can be a bit difficult to get thru the middle if you have a fairly solid core...

Cool so we are completely talking about the same knot. Grants book just show putting under a string or so. I put two strands threw the core and that gives me four working ends or four strands. Which sounds like what you do too. Quote
