Mene Bracelet Knot

in mene •  6 years ago  (edited)

I've had a couple folks ask how I tied my Mene Bracelet. I think it was @kouloumos who inspired me to do this post. @silversaver888 went right out and tied her bracelet like this. She made it look easy for her first time. It's called a Fisherman's knot. I think it makes your bracelet look great and it's adjustable.

How to tie a Fisherman's Knot


Step 1. Lay the 2 ends of the Bracelet or Necklace parallel to each other.

Step 2. Coil the free end of one rope twice around the second rope.

Step 3. Pass the free end of the rope through the inside of the coils.

Step 4. Repeat with the other side of the bracelet in the opposite direction. Then tighten them by pulling gently.

I've used this knot many times over the years. It's easy to tie and untie if needed. The pictures used in this post were from the Useful Knots app. It can be found at the app store.

Here is a shot of me and the Mrs sporting our Mene tied like this.

Thanks for taking the time to make a post on that!😁
So, I found some videos earlier today and I've managed to do the knot, but it seems that the bracelet provided by Mene is too small for that kind of knot.
I also did your way, cause I had the rope in hand when you posted and the result was the same.
Am I wrong?

EDIT: I did it!

It was tight at first. The leather will eventually stretch out after it's worked. I got it to fit over my fat hand. LOL.

I'll work it out. I've changed my strategy and did the knots around my hand, it fits so it's doable 😎

I thank you again for showing this way of tying the leather bracelet. image1 (35)-1.jpg

That looks awesome @silversaver888!!! I didn't want to post your pic without your permission. Thanks for sharing it.

You can use anything in my blog page, just reference it, LOL! Who was it who told me..."you can do anything in steemit". I used to tie and re-tie the knot each time I wear my bracelet and before you showed the fisherman's knot. Now, I can put on and remove my bracelet without untying the knot!

This is great! Thanks for this:) Resteemed
