After looking at dozens of videos of Greek speaking orthodox priests teaching this knot with complex procedures (and reciting prayers while weaving) without understanding anything this was the ONLY video where I actually realized how the knots were made! May God bless you, in the meantime I really personally and sincerely THANK you!

After watching so many videos I was going to give up until I found your tutorial. Excellent demonstration and thank you so very much!

I have watched many of these videos, and this has been the best one by far. It took 3 days and upwards of ten zillion tries, but I did it! Thanks for taking the time to record this.

This is by far the best example on KZfaq of how to tie this knot !

Excellent tutorial, thank you! Blessings.

He may never see this comment, but God bless this man. This was soooo helpful and made things so much easier. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

Excellent tutorial that i link to people to this day. When i was in the hospital i tied prayer ropes and this tutorial allowed me to do that. I suggest tying prayer ropes to anyone who may be going through a rough patch as it really helped me out. If you don't use em I'm sure your local churches would appreciate more tools of worship.

this is hands down the best tutorial for this on youtube. legit. thank you! i finished my first prayer rope over the weekend.

For my brothers and sisters learning this: It is going to take some time to be able to quickly and easily get the knot to look perfectly symmetrical. Just start making knots, maybe practice tying and untying on a small strand of thread. When you get comfortable, make a bracelet and keep doing that. To be able to do thus knot quickly takes lots of practice and patience. I've made 2 bracelets and a 50-knot prayer rope and only just started being able to tie one of these knots (and have it tight) in less than a few minutes. And even so, before I pull the loops through, sometimes it is wonky and lobsided, but that RESOLVES itself (usually) if you just patiently keep tightening different parts of the knot :) Don't worry about being perfect, just get going and get the practice and feel for it!

I created this video to help you all pray. Please take this time to help *me* pray. My 3-yo son is in the ICU at our local children's hospital after a bad car accident we were in. Please pray for his health and recovery. May whatever God you worship love you as I love this child and bless you the way your comments have blessed me.

Hi Mitchell. You likely already know this, but when I figured it out, it fascinated me. This knot is the same as the diamond knot. Different hand positions, same outcome. This technique is much more comfortable than the typical diamond knot but requires much longer leading ends. And of course, there's also the fact that you make the sign of the cross several times in the process with this technique.

Best tutorial on the knot by far, thanks a lot for your hard work.

Just finished my 33-knot chotki. thank you.

Thanks so much. I was able to learn and complete my first prayer rope effectively using your instructions. Too many other videos on the subject, particularly those set to music, seem almost like the person is trying to impress with skilled they are rather than teach anything.

FINALLY! A clear video on the subject that is actually useful! THANK YOU!

Thank you ,a truly perfect tutorial..Your presentation is cristal clear, the perfect instruction, greatly valued ! Be blessed. To add..yes I watched several there tutorials, yours is the clearest to follow

Thank you very much! I have been looking for how to make Chotoki for a long time. Your way of teaching is very easy to understand. I will make it soon! Thank you!

Thank u so much for this. It may have taken me about a hundred times to watch this to get the knot. But now I can do it with my eyes closed. Thank u again.

Watched a few different tutorials on here. Yours is by far the best and I've finally managed to learn. Many thanks!

I've watched so many of these videos how to do this knot I almost gave up, but this is much clearer, I think I'll give another try. Many thanks. from the UK 😊

I managed to make a knot! First time ever! Thank you for the great tutorial!

Thank you! After several tries I got it!

This looks like a great way to practice before actually making a prayer rope with rat tail cord or wool. Thanks for this.

Great, clear directions! I watched a few videos before finding this one, and you got me there first try!

Easiest tutorial I have found yet! Thank you!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BECAUSE I HAVE WATCHED 6 VIDEOS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!😍🌝😄🤗😃😃😃😁THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

Wow. Best teacher ever award. Now, can you upload a barrel knot and how to get them made perfectly so each is consistent in looks?

Thanks man. Really thanks! Starting on my first 33 knot rope!

This looks really similar to the ranger bead. Great video btw 👍

You are a best.Very clear tutorial. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for explaining! 🌷 😊

Самое лучшее и понятное видео. Благодарю!!!!

Excellent thank you so much. I forgot how to do this.

Hallelu-Yah! 🥰

Thank you all for your support!

Accidentally finished the knot while annoyedly trying to start over

Richard Beck sent me

Thank you 🙏🏻

I have never seen it done this way.

Excellent video

This is great! Thank you so much. I am trying to make these with a softer cord.

Hi! Is this also a diamond knot? Nice tuts.

I’m really knot-challenged but I really hope to learn this knot. 😁

How long does it take to make 50 knots?

Whoa!!!

Thank you dear friend in Christ

"tricksy" haha, love it

can you tie that knot with one whole piece of rope?

I followed these instructions and ended up with an oragami crane. I must have taken a wrong turn.

Mitchell, I have been looking everywhere to find out how much rattail is needed per knot. Would you be able to tell me please?

Great tutorial! I am new to this and was able to tie a knot following your video, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make a whole complete prayer rope and/or bracelet. Do you have any instructions for how to make a complete one start to finish? Thanks!

Hello! Could you tell me which cord to do it from? What is the thickness?

Hi! I have been trying to finish a knot. The part when you slip it off your hand to the end is confusing to me. Can you give me some tip?

Merci pour le travail

Thank you !

How long should the cord be for x number of cords?

This looks identical to a two-strand diamond knot… but 37x more complicated…

what thread did you use to tie the chotki

I have no clue what I am doing wrong. It is always when I get to the final part where I have the three loops that it comes out looking just strange.

I DID IT THANK YOU

Yo your video made this a cinch.

This is the best video about weaving rosaries❤

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner, amen.

how much cord do youneed to start with?

7:00

6:40

Angel of God teach this knot to Greek monk........ And calls kopmoskini

Wow this is so very complicated.

Traditionally, these are made with wool. I am currently trying to make a 100 bead prayer rope with wool... it is the most difficult thing.

I cant find a way to connect the ends of the rope when I am done.

I think I just have to admit I'll never be able to do this.

You need to have your heart and lungs tested my man.

Diamond knot

Hi, i want to ask about rosary with this knot. I made all the 50 parts of Hail Mary knots and 4 knots in between every 10 of them. And now I'm stuck in the intersection between those 50 to the first mystery (along with the cross). How do you make this intersection knot? Thank you for the answer and the tutorial.

For those confused about the Elijah Ravenscroft with the same icon as the publisher of this video--he's me. I had a name change, and Google doesn't like to let you just transfer accounts easily. All my other religious videos will be on my own channel, under this name, in the future unless otherwise stated *on* that channel. Much love and light.

I will absolutely never remember this. Such a shame.

That's the most complex knot I've ever seen. Very clear tutorial. Thanks.
