How to Tie Trinity Knots
- 1). Lay a thick piece of rope on a flat surface in front of you so that the rope forms a loop at the top with its two loose ends laying straight. Pick the rope up with both hands and flip the right edge of the loop over forming a small circle at the top of the rope. Secure the small loop between your left thumb and open hand.
- 2). Take the loose right end of the rope in your right hand and form another small loop with it. Secure the second loop between your left thumb and open hand.
- 3). Take the loose right end of the rope again in your right hand and form a third small loop with it. Secure The first two loops with your left thumb and forefinger while holding the third loop between your right thumb and forefinger. Allow the two loose ends of the rope to hang down. Observe your rope, which at this point should look like a shamrock.
- 4). Move all three loops to your left hand so that your right hand is free. Take the left loose rope end and pull it so that it crosses over the right rope directly beneath the three loop cluster you created. Pull the left rope through the third loop so that it passes under its outer edge and over its inner edge and under the right edge of the second (or top) loop.
- 5). Adjust the rope so that you can secure all loops in your right hand, between your thumb and forefinger. Pull the right loose rope end through the first (or left) loop so that it passes over its bottom edge and under its top edge and over the left edge of the top loop.
- 6). Move the right loose rope so that it passes beneath the center of the top loop. When pushing the left loose rope through the top loop, make sure it passes under the left edge of the top loop and the left edge of the right rope. Bring the left rope up through the top loop between the other side of the right rope and that it passes over the right edge of the top loop.
- 7). Loosen the rope slightly so that the trinity knot formation can be clearly seen. It will take a pyramid shape and both loose rope ends will face straight out away from you with one passing above the top edge of the top loop and one passing beneath it.
