"FreedomKnot"™ Shoelace Knot
|
This is yet another variation of a secure shoelace knot: Make an "O" and pass a loop through it from both the front
and the back.
The FreedomKnot has its very own
Web Site, complete with fun graphics and rhymes. I've redrawn the instructions here for comparison with the
other knots on my site.
|
Step 1:
Tie a
Starting Knot as shown, then cross the right (blue) lace over the left (yellow) lace to form an "O" in the
middle. The blue lace is now the left lace.
|
Step 2:
Make the left (blue) lace into a loop and begin to wrap it around the back of the "O" in the middle of the laces.
|
Step 3:
Feed the left (blue) loop through the "O" to end up in front.
|
Step 4:
Now, make the right (yellow) lace into a loop, this time wrapping it around the front of the "O" in the middle.
|
Step 5:
Feed the right (yellow) loop through the "O" to end up behind.
|
Step 6:
Now, simply pull the loops to tighten the knot. Like several other secure shoelace knots, the whole twisted mess of
the previous drawing will rearrange itself into a neat finished knot.

Finished Knot
|
 |
The finished knot should have a double wrap around the middle, as compared to the single wrap of either my
Ian Knot or any
Standard Shoelace Knot. |
Although somewhat harder to tie, my
Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot is an improvement on this knot because it ends up with the loose ends doubly-secured.
