You are a wonderful tutor so patient & clear with the instruction. Thank you so much. Take care

Knots like this always make me wonder how on earth people got the idea of doing something like that with a piece of rope. They must have had a lot of time on their hands. Amazing. Nice tuto, thanks!

Very cool. Can't imagine trying to think that one up!

By far the best tutorial I've ever seen on tying the Plafond knot!

What a great demo of a wonderful knot. Many thanks.

This is a very cool knot. It took me a couple of tries, but I was successful. Thank you.

I'm only a beginner but I like the look of this so I thought I would give it a try. On my first attempt I ended up with something almost but not quite exactly unlike your picture, as Douglas Adams might have said .! It's a great tutorial. Plafond, incidentally, is the French word for ceiling.

It's now a month on from my comment below and my first attempt to tie this knot. My first attempt made me realise that you can't be an expert from day one and that you should practice all the very easy knots until you become familiar with a handful of cord but always seems to have a life of it's own. I thought I'd come back and have another go, and with lots of wisdom such as making sure that your cord is at least a foot longer than you actually think you'll need because it makes it a lot easier. I followed instructions perfectly and ended with a horrible tangle. I will be back with another update in a month's time...!

Great video. Love this knot. Very unique and fun to tie.

Absolutely wonderful! Many thanks for this video.

love your tutorials

finally! thank you!!

Great job easy to follow and understand

Love your tutorials, another pretty knot, thank you ;-)

Superb explanation, very clear!

Finally got it, not going to say how many attempts it took!

Thank you ever so!!

Super good. Thanks.

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. easy to follow. Goooood camera work.. I subscribed. Seajay.

As you probably know this is a chiral knot and hence not superimposable on its mirror image. Interestingly, the plafond knot tied following you nice video yields the mirror image of knot number 807 in The Ashley Book of Knots.

Cheers Mate!

Please provide length/ideal lenght of rope used when sharing vids… great tutorial anyways, gonna try that one.

Hands down the easiest way to tie this knot. The triple, quad, etc versions of this knot can be tied by simply adding an extra 1/2 knot (before running the working ends down through the top) and pulling a third set of two loops from the bottom to the top before tightening. For the quad version just double the instructions for a triple, and so on.

awesome knot. great video

very nice

Cool

Great vid ^_^

I maybe dumb but does it tell anywhere how long the strand should be or ?

👍👍👍

I don't want to tell you how many times I messed this knot up LOL

Could we have another tutorial on how to untie the ones you stuff up?

The hardest part about tying this knot is guessing how much cord you need. The second hardest part is tying it with too little cord, because it turns out two feet is not enough.

This is hard to do, and frustrating.
