Standard Shoelace Knot
Sometimes referred to as an "Around The Tree Shoelace Knot"
|
|
Of all the shoelace tying techniques shown to me by others, this is by far the most common: Make a loop with one
end, wrap the other end around it and pull a loop through. This is how I was first taught to tie my shoelaces when
I was young.
|
Step 1:
Tie a
Starting Knot as shown, then make the right (blue) end into a "loop" by simply doubling it back onto itself.
|
Step 2:
Take the left (yellow) end and pass it around to the right, going
behind the right loop.
|
Step 3:
Continue the left (yellow) end
around the right loop to end up in front.
|
Step 4:
Start to feed the left (yellow) lace into the "hole" that has just been made.
|
Step 5:
With the left (yellow) lace now through the "hole", grab hold of both loops and start to pull the knot tight.
|
Step 6:
Continue pulling on the loops until the knot is firmly tied.
|
|
Finished Knot
|
 |
The finished Standard Shoelace Knot is identical to either my
Ian Knot, the World's Fastest Shoelace Knot, or to the
Two Loop Shoelace Knot. |
|
NOTE:
If your finished knot comes out crooked, it's probably because you tie your
Starting Knot the opposite way to mine. This will result in an un-balanced "Granny Knot", which both sits
crooked and comes undone more easily. See my
Slipping Shoelace Knots page for more information.
|
This page is mainly intended to show how this knot compares to both the
Two Loop Shoelace Knot and my own
Ian Knot, as well as showing the correct way to tie it so that it doesn't form a
Granny Knot (which comes undone).
