Here, Lindsey Philpott, expert knot tyer, sets out to provide the most comprehensive, useful, and attractive book of decorative knots from around the world. In this compact edition, readers will learn the materials, methods, measurements, and tools needed to tie dozens of beautiful knots. Flat knots, round knots, square knots, covering knots—you name it, and this book has it. From braids to plaits to sinnets, here are step-by-step instructions accompanied by full-colour photographs for the knot tyer's reference.
Chapters include:
- Getting Started

Philpott provides a brief history of knotting, in addition to instructions and helpful images. Practical tips, like what materials not to use, will advise beginners about the details of knot tying. Once you practice the knots illustrated in these pages, you can use the information to create your own individual style—and even some new knots!
The Ultimate Book of Decorative Knots is both a handy reference book and a beautiful gift, making it an essential addition to every knot enthusiast's library.
