Essential Knots: The Step-by-Step Guide to Tying the Perfect Knot for Every Situation

A practical and stylish illustrated guide, Essential Knots
shows how to tie each knot,
step-by-step, with expert guidance on which knot to tie when and why.
Each knot is categorised by its use in a particular sport or hobby,
with a brief explanation as to why it is the best knot for the job.
Whilst some knots have a very specific use, the book also contains
knots with many practical applications across a broad range of
activities, as well as ornamental knots and trick knots. And there is a
length of practice cord so that readers can try the knots for
themselves.

Includes:

- Everyday knots

- Sailing knots

- Fishing knots

- Camping knots

- Climbing knots

- Caving knots

- Pioneering knots

- Ornamental knots

- Trick knots

The uses for each knot are described and each is rated for its level of difficulty. Clear, uncomplicated photographs
show the required steps to tie each knot, and there is also a picture
of the finished knot put to use.
