Slip Knot There are two ways to have a slip knot slide. One way is for the slip knot to slide on the tail. This means that the tail gets bigger or smaller when the slip knot loop changes size. With the other way, the tail does not change size when the slip knot loop changes size. To create a Slip Knot: 1. Make a circle near the end of the yarn. Make sure that in forming the circle the part of the yarn you want the slip knot to slide on is placed on top. (Example 1) This slip knot will slide on the tail portion of the netting because the end of the cord is placed over the cord coming from the netting shuttle. (Example 2) This slip knot will slide on the yarn coming from the netting shuttle. Copyright © 2010 Rita F. Bartholomew Page 1 of 3 Slip Knot
