This is a bend that holds very well, yet remains easy to undo. It is also very decorative!
STEP 1
Make a loop with the first rope. Take a second rope and place it on the loop. Then pass it under the first strand and over the second. Continue making the knot passing the rope under, over, under.
It results in this, which, when not tightened all the way, has a very decorative effect.
STEP 3
You can also tighten the knot by pulling the strands.
