Embodiment Construction

[0012]In certain embodiments, the knot may be constructed from a ribbon-like length of fabric. The ribbon-like length may be prepared from any type of fabric known in the art (e.g., acetate, acrylic, cotton, linen, nylon, polyester, rayon, silk, satin, velvet, denim, felt, flannel, microfiber, etc.).

[0013]In certain embodiments, the first step in the formation of the ribbon-like length of material is to fold over the end, or edge, of a piece of material as illustrated in FIG. 1. The end folding width 102 can vary depending on the designer's application, but in the depicted embodiment, the folding width 102 is approximately ¼ inch. In certain embodiments, folding the end of the material may prevent fraying of the material and / or provide the termination point of the ribbon-like length of material with a cleaner, finished look.

[0014]FIG. 2 illustrates the step of folding the sides of the ribbon. The folding width 202 depends on the desired thickness of the final, ribbon-like length of ...

The kinds of knots used in these applications range from the structural to the ornamental, and in some cases, a knot can be both structural and ornamental (e.g., buttons). Ornamental knots, unlike structural knots, must be pleasing to the eye. There needs to be, therefore, a method of unvaryi...
