First we are going to make the most well-known form of the Alpine Butterfly knot or Middleman knot.
Making two loops, ears, little wheels, however you want to call them to remember.
They have to be on the same side, and then you cross them.
One before the other.
The part that is left behind below, put it in the middle of the two.
Like this.
And we now have our butterfly knot...
We are going to do it again...
As we see, it is a knot that can be done by ***, that is to say without needing an end.
We cross it...
The part here goes inside...
We take it out on the other side...
And we have the knot!
The good thing about this knot...
...as we will see in the other episode dedicated to the cordate...
...which is a symmetrical knot.
Another way of making a butterfly knot is using your hand to make the loops.
One and two turns around the first.
The second of the turns passes below the other two.
And now we have it ready.
A very simple way, but also one that can be forgotten.
As we can see, the knot is perfectly symmetric.
We are going to do it again.
One turn, another turn, we pass one of the turns below the other two.
And we now have the knot.
