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 ...

Abstract

A method is provided for tying a continuous sequence of substantially identical overhand knots from a single piece of material. The sequence of knots is useful in the art of clothing design, accessory ornamentation, and decorative design, but may also be used for other aesthetic purposes.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This application relates to the field of tying knots. In particular, the application relates to the formation of decorative knots for use primarily in artistic designs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There is a considerable interest in forming knots from lace, line, string, rope, cable, ribbon, fabric, or any other kind of material known in the art of knot tying. While it is well known that knots can be used to bind and secure objects, knots are also often used in the artistic design of decorating clothing, small personal belongings, house interiors, and the like.[0003]Knots have long been used in the clothing industry, the accessory industry, and decorative design. 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...
