Today's Knot: The Double Coin Knot


Today's knot is the Double Coin Knot, which according to the reference book I am using ("Two Knotty Boys on the Ropes") is heavily used for body harnesses. The name comes from the fact the knot when first used in China resembled the coinage used by the Chinese at the time.

I'll put my pic here because I find the construct quite symmetrically beautiful.

Because of the complexity of the knot I had to go beyond my reference book and figure it out using this youtube video from the knotty boys.
