The standard braid is Brunnian: if one removes the black strand, the blue strand is always on top of the red strand, and they are thus not braided around each other; likewise for removing other strands. A Brunnian braid is a braid that becomes trivial upon removal of any one of its strings. Brunnian braids form a subgroup of the braid group.
A Celtic button knot is a stopper knot on a single rope that results in a spherical decorative knot with hair braid / basket weave pattern. It is essentially a single strand Turk's Head Knot that is structured such a way that it is effectively tied around the rope itself, creating a stopper.
Lucet may unravel if cut, but is easily fixed with a small knot. Unlike other braiding techniques such as kumihimo , finger-loop braiding or plaiting , where the threads are of a finite length, lucetted (or knitted) [ a ] braids can be created without pre-measuring threads and so it is a technique suited for very long cords.
A Matthew Walker knot is a decorative knot that is used to keep the end of a rope from fraying. It is tied by unraveling the strands of a twisted rope , knotting the strands together, then laying up the strands together again.

Interesting developments in the artistic use of interlaced knot patterns are found in Byzantine architecture and book illumination , Coptic art , Celtic art, Islamic art , Kievan Rus' book illumination, Ethiopian art , and ...
The number of bights determines the shape found at the center. Three bights create a triangular shape, while four create a square. A two lead, 3 bight Turk's head is a double overhand knot. [2] A two lead, three bight Turk's head is also a trefoil knot if the ends are joined together. (2,n) alternating torus knots are (2,n) Turk's head knots.

The Ashley Book of Knots was compiled and first published before the introduction of synthetic fiber ropes, during a time when natural fiber cordage – typically twisted, laid, or braided rope – was most commonly used. The commentary on some knots may fail to address their behavior when tied with modern synthetic fiber or kernmantle style ropes.
