description of a knot

[Capt. Hellenthal]

Hello Dear All,

I intend to make a ditty bag. Found some very nice samples online on the page of the "Knotty Bear" of Barry Brown.

Is there any possibility to get a description how to make it?
Saw that is was featured in the "Knotting Matters"#105

My special interest lies in the pineapple knot.
Can't find it in the Ashley book of knots.

Can anybody help me to find a description for it?

Many thanks.

Cheers,
Capt. B.Hellenthal

Hi Capt.

Here is a pair of links that should provide you with some info to mull over. Probably more than you'll have time for. but I hope not.

For some Pineapple knot tutorials > http://pineappleknotstutorials.over-blog.org/articles-blog.html  And some other things as a bonus.

And here is a member's website who does a great job of teaching and entertaining too. > http://www.frayedknotarts.com/tutor1.html

Hope this helps and keeps you from being idle.

The pineapple knot is in abok in the monkey fist chapter.  I believe it was original to there.
