How do you know it's a free run, an how many? You leave out some important steps on these algorithm diagrams. I'm gonna go back to my book from schaake.
I think you just started to de- mystify Turks head knots for me. I have only just started tinkering with THK’s in studying the two Tom Hall books. The series will help with the projects. Much appreciated, thanks. Only one question; how do you estimate the length of cord you will need without being too short or too long?
I have two questions for you. First, what dictates the over/under pattern? Is it that all 3 pass at O3 U3? Second, how did you know to not start on the left of the standing end when starting the Gaucho pattern? Thanks.
Hrafn Nordhri The coding in the center of our algorithm-diagram tell us the overs and unders. It also tells us where to turn back into the knot. If we were going to the left of the standing end the coding would of had us cross the standing end.
Tom Hall Braiding and Knots By Michael Hickey ok so that makes sense. I understand where and what illustrates the over and unders. Allow me to clarify my question. What dictates the O3/U3 pattern, and what had you choose to start with an under?
Tom Hall Braiding and Knots By Michael Hickey Also, not to be a pain, but in your video about tying a Gaucho from a 5 Part 4 Bight, you state that because it was tied with enlargement number 1, you cross over to go up the back to start the Gaucho enlargement. Which is why I asked here as you did use enlargement number 1 but did not go along the back to start the Gaucho.
Hrafn Nordhri The O3/U3 pattern was just the knot I chose to tie. I chose an under at the start to make it a “regular” knot. If it was an over at the start it would be a “Sobre” knot.
These are a great help. Perhaps you should have a sample of the completed knot to show at the beginning.
Peter Tolcser I have had other people suggest that. Thank you I will try to do better.

Tiffany Wall the first half-cycle is always a Free Run. Because there isn’t any thing to go over or under.
@@tomhallbraidingandknotsbym5433 lol, I know that, how do you start a knot that says.
1. Free run
2. Free run
3. Free run
4. O2-U1
Thanks Mike.

djecpamba I do not use a formula to get the cord needed. I just guess.

Hrafn Nordhri On tying the 7 part 4 bight Casa knot you use Enlargement Process 2.
