Figure-of-nine loop

The nine nodes is a kind of increase of eight knot. But he has only one turn more and no resemblance to a nine. Tied with a single strand of rope, he is also known under the name Edelridknoten.

Application

The nine nodes is rarely used. He should pull even less than the figure-eight knot and it is therefore proposed, for example, for the construction of cable cars and hauling. The corresponding measurements, there are, for example, here (PDF file, 1.38 MB). (P.26 (Sheet No. 3), referred to as Edelridknoten )

Tie

First, a loop is placed. With this, a double loop is set and this is formed by twisting to an "8". This " 8" one more time will be rotated. The loop is then passed through the eye.
