Lone star knot

In this tutorial I demonstrate how to tie a Lone star knot also known as the Texas lone star knot. It is a fairly simple knot. We first tie a 6L5B turk's head and then do the lone star interweave. Looks quite similar to a pineapple knot. The know will find its use on an end of a handle or as a covering knot.
The knot is demonstrated by Bruce Grant in his encyclopedia in plate 87.

Thanks Mark. We hope you show us how to tighten this knot.

[@kennethehockenberry6754]

I used this knot on my tools 40 or more years ago... I learned this one from Bruce Grant...

[@watchgoose]

As a resident of the Lone Star State, I'll say this is a nice knot - but should be a white star on a blue field!!!!!

[@brunosousa1977]

Amazing

[@macfid]

[@grantrogan9091]

awesome very great full for this tutorial

[@danielfarrell4160]

all of your videos are great but what are the best ways to end the larger 8-11 strand braids

[@KingOmnious]

could you do a video on how to tie the 11p10b "perfect pineapple" please? I would really appreciate it.....

[@Paracordguild]

I'll see what I can do!
Mark

[@angel13ful]

How much para cord and how to close it?

[@peterswan8840]

[@Paracordguild]

[@peterswan8840]

Paracord guild thank you so much I will look now. great videos keep them coming

[@richardwalters9897]

I'm new to this and need to ask: how much cord of each color is used?

[@MarsOneBeatz]

how do you enlarge this knot so that you can use it to cover larger objects?

[@scottallen2190]

Do you have a link for your lacing needle? I like that it has a flat side. All the fids I see are round. Thanks

[@dimhelmet]

I was about to ask the same thing!

[@richardwalters9897]

I get my fids at Hobby Lobby. They are exactly like this. In the leather section.

[@BuBea2010]

Permloc is what they're called, I believe its a leather lacing needle.

[@KingOmnious]

how's would you modify this so that the bottom matches the top? I hate those floppy sobre bights on the bottom.....

[@Paracordguild]

Hey!
In that case you would probably want a pineapple knot?
Mark

[@KingOmnious]

Paracord guild yeah but I been having trouble finding out how to perform the interweave properly. no one likes a 5 bight x 6/7 part thk for some reason.

[@KingOmnious]

Marc, all of the instructions that I've been finding are all for 4,6,8 bight pineapple knots. I've been searching and attempting on my own to no avail.

[@Paracordguild]

Hey!
Some knots just can't be tied, be aware of that! This is why for example the Flores button knot was invented.
Mark

[@KingOmnious]

That thought did cross my mind however I saw Marble Maple do a 11p10b and that exactly what im looking for!

[@HrafnNordhri]

Hey Marc. Would this fit onto a golf ball or does it need a smaller core?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey there!
I have two tutorial on just the knots used for covering golf balls. This one may be a bit too small. Search for "golf ball key fob" in my channel, they should pop up!
Mark

[@HrafnNordhri]

Paracord guild yes you do. I was wondering if this lone Star fits 😎

[@willkerby1845]

Can you give a link of the brand of Paracord you use

[@agnessou7564]

Want to buy that threading needle ~ where there is to sell

[@siennaistrans]

So, where’s the dark helmet knot?
