Matthew Walker Knot tutorials
« on: July 09, 2010, 03:22:12 PM »
Does anyone know where some really good MW tutorials are? For some reason this is the one knot I want most to be able to tye well, and just can't seem to get. I can do a 2-strand pretty good most of the time, but once I get to three strands or more, I just can't seem to get them. And for as often used as it is, I can't seem to find any good tutorials out there.

This link allows you to click on a book and go to the Matthew Walker Knot.
Note: it doesn't work on every book.

Hi Rrok007

Have a look at the video below. It helped me very much in mastering the Matthew Walker. I have recently tied one in 8 strands and it was a neat and tidy job using this method. In theorie it should be easier to tie the MW via the wall knot, but in practise, I struggled with it when having more then 3 strands. Now I always use the method below. Just make sure the next loop stays underneath the previous one, which includes tucking it through the loops underneath the previous strings. Give it a go. With a little bit of patience, I am sure you will get there.

Good Luck

Ah yes the good old Matthew Walker knot. This one took me ages to master too!!!

I did it once and got it right, but then after that I kept getting a messy blob, where a masterpiece should be. After many trial runs I finally got it and could see where I was going wrong.

It is funny how it is such a simple knot to tie now, but a while ago it was beyond my grasp.
