What an intricate knot. I’ve been making knotted rosaries for some time and I love my chotki. I am envisioning my hand wrapped in an crazy knot just watching this!! 😂 I will need to watch a few more times before I try. Your work is beautiful, I can see how much love and care you put into each knot. May God bless you for your good works! 🙏🏼✝️🤎
This is the third way of tying the Chotki knot I learned here on RUclips and now my favorite. May God reward you abundantly for taking time to make this video and all your other videos! 🤗 The tips you included are also very useful. Now my knots kinda stay closer together even with a satin rope that is so slippery. May you have a blessed Lent and Easter, all good things and joys!
I received the most beautiful prayer necklace about a year ago during God's Grace in me being reborn. It was very inexpensive but a most cherished item to help me. I believe it was God sent for me to find and receive it. When it showed up there was something very special about that entire moment, the cross and rope formed a heart that warmed my heart as I first laid eyes on it. Thank you for the skill care and diligence in creating them. I had no idea how impacting it would. E on .e and have used it daily since. Im not even sure it was from you, but that does not matter. Thank you for aharing, God is good, much love to all!!❤❤
I just bought a prayer rope on Etsy, not my rite, but I really like the tradition for my prayer life. I decided I wanted to make one, which is how I came to this video. THAT KNOT IS INSANE!! I sometimes have trouble remembering how to tie a bowline knot!
@@Cminac1 it doesn’t seem to matter. I bought one with 100 knots. I’ve seen 33 knots all the way up to 1000 knots. Really depends on how much time you can commit to praying the Jesus prayer
After years of trying and watching a VHS video in the older, with this video I actually tied a correct not. Thank you. Is it possible to make a video to show the alternating colors that the Romanian's do? Say like, Red and Black alternativing?
How is this knot structurally different from the knife lanyard knot, also called a diamond knot? I've tied both and cannot find a difference structurally in the end result.
It may be structurally the same, I don't know that, but the way these knots are different is the two loops that are pulled through allow them to be tightened right up against each other very tightly

@@orthodoxprayerropes6134 I'll re-tie a diamond knot shortly and see if it also has that feature. I know the process you share here is traditional and the 7 crossings hold meaning. As a knotter, I am also curious in the structure and function of the knot itself independant of the project. Hope that makes sense.
This is interesting to know. I love how the knot looks and actually wanted to make a 5 decade Catholic knotted rosary using this method. I’m knot-challenged (find it really had to make fancy knots) but I’m hoping to learn how to make this one.
Try the lanyard knot. Same thing happens, with the 2 cords coming out the bottom to butt up against one another. I've made my daughter several knots in a row for a teether.
Я в первые тоже сколько искала, всё быстро делают и ничего не понятно , не получается а это видео самое хорошее что я смотрела, я ещё не пробовала а только смотрела но всё понятно и буду смотреть видео и пробовать уже завтра я уверенна у меня получится спасибо большое
Like some others I will need to watch this a few more times before I get it, but this is the best teaching video on it I've seen so far, well done!. It reminds me of cats cradle we played as kids, but that's another story!
Take a break, have some prayer, ask God to guide your hands and help you, try again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work send me a video of you tying a knot I'll try to tell you what went wrong
Ill keep on trying.. ill be doing this the whole day tomorrow, i can show you.. cause its going automatic but always at the end it goes wrong so im trying hundreds of other ways that i might be getting wrong
@@potatosalad9063 it's better to take a break... So you can start again with fresh eyes. Because repeating whatever you are doing now will not change anything and you will just get frustrated
I know this is a super late reply, but I'm making one with standard Paracord rn and it works... but the thickness of the cord and its tendency to twist makes the knots kinda "lumpy" and not very pretty. Also it seems to be just generally more difficult than with a thinner cord
Thank you for this demonstration. Can you please elaborate more on how/where exactly you pull on the sides to bring a knot up? That's where I have difficulty and can't complete my second knot. Thank you!
Did you figure it out? I had beginners luck, but i try again and kept messing up. The annoying thing is that i was doing it properly, but sometimes the strings were twisted in a way that made me think it was tangled. Now I learned i just have to slide the string and tug a bit harder then it takes the right shape and can be tightened up. So much time i wasted undoing knots that were actually fine
No wonder the devil couldn't untie it :s
Exactly 😂
He is probably on still on RUclips trying to figure it out haha.
I was like 'that can't be one knot. That's gotta be the cross.." it was one knot
Thank goodness it looks like you only really have to do it once or twice, then you just repeat an easier motion for the whole rope.
Wow. I can see the truth in that story of the desert fathers where the Angel showed him how to tie a knot that the demons could not unravel.
You’re a great teacher and I realized I won’t even attempt this. Looks too complex. But wow. I had no idea how hard it was.
Наконец-то у меня получилось! Спасибо за такую наглядную инструкцию. Благослови вас Господь🙏
Thank you, I am not sure how many times I watched this but I finally got it, you are a great teacher.

Nothing like a piece of string for teaching humility. ☦️😊☦️
I wish I could show you the hot mess that was my first knot after following along. It truly was a travesty and it had me cracking up.
😆😹

Gorgeous video but I am still clueless :)
I don’t blame you, wow that looks confusing..😳😲😹
once you made 33 knots, how do you connect the ends (without a cross)?
This is the clearest explanation. Thank you and God Bless you for this tutorial
how do you finish the prayer rope?
totally going to try this with cross stitch floss to see how it turns out. Loved the tutorial. ευχαριστώ πολύ!
I would like to make a bracelet with these knots...how do I join the beginning and the end of the bracelet?

And they offer 33, 50, 100, 150, 300, and 1000 knot options! Holy ravioli

I would like to hear your definition of "very easy"
Just gained even more respect for the prayer cord knots
Very Easy.....are you crazy? I couldn't do this with you standing over me.
What is the name of this knot ?
This is one way of tying what is also called a diamond knot. There are easier ways to tie it but I think this is traditional for tge Kristjans.
que pena no entendi nada se me hicieron nudo los ojos y no pude ver nada jajajajajaja
Ευχαριστώ πολύ για το καλύτερο βίντεο, να είστε καλά ❤
Wonderful! Congratulations! I would place an order for a bracelet.
God bless you
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Would need the patience of a saint to tie that! :)
Aveți cumva un film în care exemplificați cu șnururi de culori diferite?
Ar fi mai ușor pentru noi, cei care vrem sa învățăm. Mulțumesc.
Dang you're quick with it
Merci infiniment DIEU vous bénisse abondamment 🙏🏽
I was expecting an old babushka to be the one explaining how it’s made
i have a question. when you are finished with making the knots how do you tie the two ends
ah yes, the devil is in the detail
Due to not being an octopus I am unable to make it past knot 2.
I kown u posted this 5 years ago but do i need the beads or not
Thank you very much
For the least to say it was tricky but I managed
should i get it blessed?

Non fai dei movimenti fluidi, ripeti lo stesso passaggio 2 o 3 volte.
È snervante seguire il tuo tutorial, impossibile imparare da te. 😑
'very easy'
"Very easy"
How do you make the final knot?? To finish it all up..
I have other videos on my channel showing this but you just double up the ends and tie the knot with four strings
Still don't know how. Can you make a vid on it???
@@michaelkarlgut334 what do you mean by final knot? You can just cut it when you're done. ruclips.net/video/iz3vqBGLnFE/видео.html
@@orthodoxprayerropes6134 Thank you!!!
Are your "arm lengths" both arms spread wide, or did you mean just the one arm measurement? I wasn't sure.
Grazie!!!❤
LIL OLGZ
Really good vid on the 3 finger merhod but the 5 finger method is a lot easier!!!!
I'm not familiar with this method! Do you have any links to learn it?
@@orthodoxprayerropes6134 ruclips.net/video/tEtsGh-TPrc/видео.html
too complicated, no matter howmany tutorials i watch, is there nothing a little easier.
So 3 times crossing over/ around the two fingwrs?
Why is it soooo hard
😊😊
Thank you for this. It was very helpful
This seems hard but I will attempt it nevertheless pray for me sister.
Yh I give up, ima just make 33 tight knots and call it a day, I can't do this
I've tried different tutorials so many times and failed each and every one of them, so that feels like the best solution
@@wwqqxr fr 😢
Hello! Where do you buy the rope to make the prayer rope? God bless you
Great Channel!
I just finshed my first Komboskini from scratch just by learning from your videos. Thank you very much!!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ να είσαι καλά!!

Boa noite como é bom nome desse Nó gostaria de aprender a fazer .. poderia falar comigo fico grata
Huge respect to these who do this, this is some hard mind destroyer 🤣 so hard to make!
Amazing to watch how you teach to do this. Thank you for this video.
What are the size of the beads hole size?
Like some others I will need to watch this a few more times before I get it, but this is the best teaching video on it I've seen so far, well done!. It reminds me of cats cradle we played as kids, but that's another story!
Hello can you tell me what faith culture is the prayer beads and what type of prayer goes to it? Thank you I’m hoping it’s Hebrew/Jewish
No, these prayer ropes are Orthodox Christian and for praying the Jesus prayer.
How come your english is so good 🤔
THANK YOU!!! God bless!
didnt get it... to stupid me to knot
I have 4 of them😂
What beads do you use?
Where you from?
This looks hard.
Ini sangat rumit
Looks like a diamond knot
Very difficult 😅
❤❤❤
thank you god bless
I watched my grandmother years ago make these 300 knot rosary and fast, I want to know who on earth came up with this form of a knot
The Orthodox church
Thanks👍
may God bless you
Thank you
tried over 90 times for about 7 hours and didn't work, theres something missing..at the end at the moment for pulling, it often goes wrong.
Take a break, have some prayer, ask God to guide your hands and help you, try again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work send me a video of you tying a knot I'll try to tell you what went wrong

@@potatosalad9063 prayersropes@gmail.com
Dose the way you twist the rope as knots it is mean something in Christian prays ?
The knots consist of 7 crosses which is symbolic. The knots themselves are used to pray the Jesus prayer most commonly
i don't know how i did it but i succeeded
nvm i failed with the second knot
Спасибо большое за видео!
How do we end it off ?
See my other videos
Wooooow that’s amazing 👍👍👍 good job
Can this knot tying procedure be used to make a wool bracelet or rope?
Yes
What nylon wrap size is that
2 mm nylon rattail cord
Thank you so much, this is awesome! Do you have a video for a cross made of these knots as well?
How do you finish the prayer rope with out a cross?
Do you have a link to a picture of what you mean?
Can I find this prayer rope in india
My etsy shop ships worldwide or you could try making your own
And can you also use paracord
I have personally never used it, but if it's about 2mm thick it should be fine!
