| List of nodes | |
Many multi-strand thickening nodes, such as the wall and crown knot use the wall junction . They are used to prevent rushing out at the end of the rope. They are usually tied with three or four cardels.
Knot
Usually such knots are tied with a hemp or sisal rope. Different colored cords are used here for a better overview .
Three-carded rope
One cardel, in this case the yellow one, is brought under the next counterclockwise , here the blue cardel
With the next cardel (blue) you go under the first moved cardel (yellow) and under the standing part of the next (green)
The third cardel (green) is passed under the second end (blue) and up through the bay of the first moved cardel (yellow)
Still to draw
The ends of the cardeles point upwards
If a "simple wall knot" is used as a stopper and not reinforced, it is best to countersink it.
Comparison of crown knots - wall knots
The wall knot is the exact opposite of the crown knot
Wall knot: The ends of the cardeles point upwards
Crown knot: The ends of the cardeles point to the side
Example of using the wall node
