Introduction: Locked Footrope/diamond Knot Part 2
The footrope/diamond knot is an attractive ending knot for a project. However, it can collapse with handling
This knot uses the under two wall knot to lock itself in place
This knot is similar in appearance to the locked footrope using the over two crown knot
Step 1:
Make a crown knot. Each strand goes over the adjacent strand to the right
Step 2:
Bring the first strand under TWO strands
Step 3:
Bring the second strand under TWO
Step 4:
Bring the third strand under one and under and up through the bight from the first strand
Step 5:
Bring the fourth strand under and up through the bights made by the first two strands
Step 6:
Tighten slightly. Now bring each end under the strand immediately above it to go through the center of the first crown knot
Step 7:
First end
Step 8:
Second end
Step 9:
Third end
Step 10:
Fourth end
Step 11:
Tighten and trim ends
Step 12:
If you combine the over two crown knot

and the under two wall knot you will get a knot that when pulled tight is VERY difficult to untie
