Leather Knot...what Is It Called? How To Make It?

Recommended Posts

It looks like a Bleed Knot.

At first glance I thought bleed knot too but this is different. The end is a rolled button. Basically you roll or fold the leather a time or two or three. Then punch a hole through the layers in the middle and feed the end down through the hole and pull tight. This looks like they cut a slit in the tail and fed the button up through it.

Bruce Grant called it a Roll Button Leather Braiding book pg 31. At least that's what it looks like. Sorry I don't have a scanner handy atm, I'll try and scan that page tomorrow.

You're probably referring to this page. post-58609-0-25303900-1453532613_thumb.j

The website of which the original picture is seems to be unavailable, but this search shows some more pictures.

This is a kangaroo bracelet with black spanish ring buttons, one as an accent and ... It is a flat latigo strap with a rolled button on one end and a slit on the other.

It definitely isn't a bleed knot

That's the page Thor. The knot in the picture appears to be a variant, perhaps a double loop rolled button? I wish we could get a side view.

This describes what I've been seeing. That picture was the only one that I could find of something similar. When I saved the picture was titled something like rolled button and slit. Thank you!

Would love to see it. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing that page Thor. I do think that is what I've been seeing, a rolled button. Except instead of making it round with more layers like in the book, they are only folding it over 2-3 times before pulling it through the slits. I've been seeing it on some latigo leather bosal hangers and such.

@kheart: could you get a side view of one of those and post it?

Will do. Next time I go to town I will snap a picture of it with my phone. It will likely be later this week.

I made one from a piece of latigo scrap I had, it was super easy! Does it have a name other than rolled button?
