Multiple Overhand Knot


So I learned a new little lanyard knot called a Multiple Overhand Knot. These knots are good for securing items such as keychains, whistles, etc, to thread in a way that the knot will look ‘pretty.’ It is easy to follow; Make a loop and do an overhand knot, followed by another (within the same loop), and so on. The ones shown in this image are 4 consecutive knots and you can see at the end of the string how it is that the loop is done.


How to do the MOK


Fairly simple eh? Well... sort of. Anyone can do loops... but I noticed that if you switch the way you loop, or if you are not careful at pulling the strings your thread will just twist strangely and make the knot wrong. See below.
