Tip

Tip: Cross the lines in an X and pinch to keep an opening

How to do it: Form a blood knot by crossing lines in an X and pinching to maintain an opening

Mistake it fixes: Crossing lines without pinching, losing the opening

Why it works: An X crossing with a pinched opening allows the second side to pass through correctly.

When it matters most: Knots, blood knot
