Knot Tying

My knots playlist
This is where I save my favourite knot-tying vids on YouTube
WhyKnot on YouTube
This is probably my favourite because he explains clearly, uses easy methods of tying, and is Australian 🇦🇺
Paracord Guild on YouTube
I prefer WhyKnot’s methods of tying a bit more, but PG’s videos are very professional and easy to follow
TyingItAllTogether on YouTube
JD has a few decorative knots that you might not see elsewhere

The Ashley Book of Knots by Clifford W Ashley
This basically the knot almanac that everyone refers back to, and uses for naming/identifying knots. Ashley died in 1947, so this book might not be in the public domain until the end of 2017 (in Australia) 😬
The PDF with Text file is very large, but I recommend it because the text is searchable, where it is not in the smaller PDF file.
Knots, Splices and Rope Work by A. Hyatt Verrill
This book has been made into an ebook on Project Gutenberg. Most of the images are only in two steps (the knot before and after tightening), but it’s good as a quick reference.
Knots by Peter Owen
This is a PDF scan of the book. I don’t know if it’s legit, or in breach of copyright having it online, but I’m finding the description of the knots and their uses really interesting. I would totally buy this book.

TGP Begleri on YouTube
He posts some nice trick vids, and has a shop too!
Aroundsquare has an expanding page collating information about Begleri
They’ve got tutorials on YouTube as well

I will update this page as I find new things.
