Gördesknoten
A Gördesknot is a symmetrical double knot that is used in the manufacture of hand-knotted oriental carpets . Here, the wool thread used to produce the pile is looped around two warp threads in such a way that the two ends of a knot thread are brought out upwards again between the two corresponding warp threads. In contrast to the asymmetrical Senneh knot, the pile thread completely wraps around both warp threads.
Although this knotting technique is used in all regions where carpets are hand-knotted, it is often associated with Anatolian carpets . When analyzing the structure of the carpet, the best way to identify the use of symmetrical knots is to bend the pile of the carpet perpendicular to the course of the warp threads so that the base of the knot is exposed. In the symmetrical knot, the two pile threads are centered over the knot loop.
