Knot studio

Tie knots with a virtual rope. Watch a move, copy it with your own rope, choose over or under at each crossing, then check your knot.

Guide: Knot studio

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick a knot

    The studio opens on Free rope. Tap that name at the top left to switch to a guided knot, or keep playing freely with the rope.

  2. 2

    Watch, then copy

    Show me plays one move. Drag your own rope to copy it — the red end is the one you move. Hint points to the next pass.

  3. 3

    Over, under, check

    At each crossing choose Over or Under. In a guided knot, Check compares your crossings with the knot you are learning.

The studio is a practice simulation. It checks the pattern of crossings, not the strength of a knot. Practise on real rope before you rely on a knot aboard.
