YES! I just learned this term in the past few days. I’ve been following a template and method that I bought online to make these mats for years. They just called it “tightening up” with no real systematic procedure; actually saying that it could be 1 to 234,697 times to get it snugged down. I have not tried it yet, but hopefully, your method will take the confusion, guesswork, and about 2 hours of frustration out of weaving these ocean plait mat gifts. 🤩
Good stuff and played at 1/2 speed I can keep up. My only recommendation - move your test out of the way. If often blocks what you are trying to show. Keep up the great knotting.
I've just done my second one of these and it was a lot easier than the first one. I've decided by leaving it slightly loose, gives a better effect, and is a lot easier. If you have little squares between all the crossings and underings it actually looks better without going to the effort of getting it extremely uniform if you do it tightly.
Thanks for the excellent video. I have two questions I hope you will answer. How do I calculate the length of rope needed if my rope is of a different diameter? How do I calculate how much rope is needed to make a mat of a particular size? Thank lyou very much for your help.
My suggestion is to tie your design with any piece of rope, just first pass. Measure the rope and multiply with number of passes. I describe this in my latest tutorial on my Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/ropeworks
I love this rug and plan to adapt to be a bottom covering for a project I'm working on. The shape I'm covering is a tear shape 💧. Do you have a suggestion for another pattern that would work even better? Many thanks! RB.
This is such a wonderful tutorial. I still get stuck in the fairing process and end up going round and round, basically just moving the loose rope back and forth. Any tips?
Curious to know could I keep going with more rounds to make a larger mat? Would that work or just throw off the design? Thanks for the video, I knit, crochet and macreme so your video has my mind exploding with ideas
To some extent that works but after 5 or more passes you need to start sewing the outer bights to keep them in place. There are lots of other designs for larger mats.
is there a calculation to work out how much rope is required? I hope to make a larger door matt in heavier rope but am stuck trying to figure out how much line I'll need. Thank's so much for you videos. I made the key fob today and learnt some invaluable techniques in the process.
Thank you for feedback. There may be some way to calculate but simplest way is to make a dummy with one pass in the required size with any kind of rope first. Simple and quite accurate.
I may be a bit late to this conversation, but looking at Gordon Perry's book, it says: A mat that measures 38 x 20 cm (the photo shows 4 passes), requires approximately 12m of 10mm cordage.
Johnny Debt thanks. The ones I've been making use 25m on 16mm rope and end up measuring about 700mm x 400 mm with 5 passes. I draw them up pretty tight and usually take out about a metre or so in slack. They make such great doormats. There are some pictured on my Instagram @blood_knot
Parabens belissimo trabalho.amei de coraçáo. Mesmo eu náo entendendo o Indioma mais da para entender bem por favor queria saber se alguem poderes me responder se posso faser tambem com tiras compridas de panos porque tenho. Apesar que com estas cordinhas ai ficam bem mais lindos Desde ja meu Deus os Pague
Hi, this was great... I think I could do this, a I'm a creative crafty person and can crochet most anything. The main issue I'm having with your video is the finished size is waaaay too small for a door mat. Can you explain / make video one a larger finished door mat... one that is at least the same width as a door. Thanks
This mat can be scaled up by using a thicker rope and more passes. There are tons of other videos and books about door mats. Maybe later I will do a video of a larger mat, but it might take a while...
I am so glad you showed your fairing process. That is just what I needed to see.
Glad you find it useful.

As a beginner, I really appreciate all aspects of this, including the truing process and splice! Thank you.
I am glad if you find the video useful.
I can’t wait to try this without a template! You make it look so easy. I just made my first using a template I made , whew! Thank you for sharing!
Это каким же надо быть гениальным, чтобы такое придумать? Браво!! Брависсимо!
Wow…that is so cool! Loved that “fairing” and splicing in the ends were shown. The hands of a devoted craftsperson at work!❤️
Came for the pattern...stayed for the music.......and then for the pattern...cheers !
Any idea who is playing this music?
Very nice and simple..
Fantastic Video Mikko, I have learned a lot from your videos
Thank you for your positive feedback.Keep on knotting!
Yet another great vid!
Beautiful sharing thanks
great music
Excelente!!
Felicitaciones!!
Quedó estupendo el tapete gracias por compartirlo.
Congratulations again, friend! I wrote on your channel. Brazil.

realy good job, awesome
Ameiiii explicação maravilhoso parabéns 👏🏻👏🏿👏🏽 posso fechar mais os espaços sem deixar vagas🌻💕💖

Love it, thanks man.
This is such a wonderful tutorial. I still get stuck in the fairing process and end up going round and round, basically just moving the loose rope back and forth. Any tips?
Just be consistent and don´t turn turn the mat when fairing. When turning, you loose orientation easily.
Excellent Auction
Para hecerlo grande se necesita que sea grueso el hilo
Muito capricho, parabéns!
❤❤❤❤❤
thanks i learned a lot
Thank you I'm on my way to get 8m of line
👍👍👍

What do you mean middle???? It wasn't def not in the middle. Confusing to say the least
Middle the 3 meters length taken out first, meaning start 150cm from the end.

@blood_knot
Of course yes, I am already following you on Instagram1! :-)
My only confusion is at the beginning he says middle, but that is not the middle of the rope. Not sure how far in on the line you should start?

How much cable do I need, 3m or 8m?
For this one, 8 meters of 6mm rope.
Claro sou Apaichonada por Artesanatos desde o primeiro.dia que eu vi o vidio ja me escrevi ja vou cpartilhar
Would be nice to know a little something about the ropes you use in general. What are they made from? They seem very relaxed and user friendly.
The ropes that I use are my own produce. Usually in cotton and flax. In this video jute.
Wawwwww toooooop 👍👍👍👍👍

Türkçe açıklamalı sunarsaniz size çok teşekkür ederim
how many meters did you use to make it?
Says in the beginning, 8 meters.
reminds me of regalia deco that goes on military, royal and government type uniforms
How much rope is needed for 150 cm?
Make just one pass and you will know.
what is the rope name?
That is 6mm jute rope.
You must be the reincarnation of HGS! Does your website do US business? Your vids are the best out there! Fair winds, and greetings from Alaska.
Thank you for the feedback Mark. And yes, I do ship my products worldwide.

Why do i suspect mine won't turn out quite as nice :)
Patience, my friend, patience...
Great vid! Nice and clear! Also... Was anyone else singing the words to the Soggy Bottom Boys song over the second piece of music?? Maybe just me...
I had to rewind the video at that point. I found myself caught up in the music! Best regards from an easily distracted Baby-Boomer!
