6 years later, this tutorial is still active and used. I've used your idea of "diamond knot" as a 'spherical core'. Result is a not bad for a key ring/key fob (1 colour only) Thanks from France 🇫🇷👍
Thank you! I'm just starting to learn how to use paracord, and your videos do a wonderful job of breaking down complex knots into a series of simple steps.
I want to do a golf ball (1.5 inches across ) . How much cord do I need to do the double cord shown at the end of your video ? Does the pipe tube need to be 1.5 inches too or larger ? Also I want an added length for a good lanyard to swing it for self defense. Thanks.
I found this difficult. Each time I'd go through, step by step, one cord on the left would be over, the other under. Still working on where I'm going wrong. Great project though. I'm intending to use a 22mm or 7/8" ball. Thanks Mark
Great video, loved the use of the mandrel, Ive done that know with OUT the mandrel and its a pain, that looks MUCH easier! Will be doing that the next time. What size was that tubing?
+Malcolm Morris same here, that tightening is hard part! But still, should be doable :) in fact, just did this and tightening must be done slowly, and It'll turn out fine
dday2086 Hey there! The core I used for this demonstration was probably around 3/4 inches, so I would assume you would need 3 or 4 passes. At that point you could also try a larger globe knot. The thing with globe knots is that there are many versions, with different numbers of faces. You may also like cylindrical turk's heads for covering various objects (the pineapple, herringbone and gaucho knots all look very nice). Mark
Can you please help me for a not, I want to put a marbel in that knot as you did in the video,but marble should be visible from out side and it should not fall from that knot, I try to make but marble is not visible from outside ,please help me🙏🙏🙏
Ridiculously hard to tighten it. Even after my 10th try i still cant get it. It always left me with 1 space extremely uneven. At the verge of giving up.
So I've been trying for the 8th time this Bullshit of globe knot now and I just do everything exactly as in this video, until I need to tighten the globe around my marble and it always looks horrible after. I wonder if people here really tried it or just watching the video for entertainment. This method is not working at all. spend almost 3h hours doing this shit and its always wrong in the end.
You do the best tutorials

Thank you for being so kind!
Have a great day!

I've never seen as easy as this video before. 👍👍👍
thank you so much your description was very helpful
The cord you need depends on the number of passes you are going to make. I'd say take 4 or more feet for a single pass on your first go.
Absolutly well done! Clear and concise.... well done again
Great job on this video! You make it look so easy!!!!
Thanks, easier way than using fingers! And the double up is easier too!

Thank you for the positive comment!
Mark
Very impressive and inlighting thank you
Well done, great video.
Nice , got many meters brand new rope , i will try to make this.
is there a way to figure out how many faces are needed to cover certain size spheres?
Great video but how do I do that knot at the end of a rope
great video! thanks
Astrakhan like gorgeous fantasy.

You make it look so easy. But I've yet to try.😅😅😅
Any chance, a knot like this could cover a wine cork? I just ordered some I was hoping to make fender key fobs out of.
I want to do a golf ball (1.5 inches across ) . How much cord do I need to do the double cord shown at the end of your video ? Does the pipe tube need to be 1.5 inches too or larger ? Also I want an added length for a good lanyard to swing it for self defense. Thanks.
very good. i like it.
Is it the number of initial turns that determines the number of facets?
Thank you very much for this tutorial!
is there a guideline to know how much lead will one need according to the size of the ball or size desired?
Great video, many thanks Hinny :o)

Still working on where I'm going wrong.
Great project though.

Thanks Mark
Cool thanks! Is there some type of ball knot that is solid rope (not hollow), and doesn't need a core?
hi. I saw that you used a bit of pipe to help make the globe knot. I was wondering what size pipe is needed for the size of the marble.
gracias de esta forma es mucho mas sencillo GRACIAS
nice knot!
Hi ,thanksssssssssssssssssssss for me this is most simple of Tiat,
I prefer this to those
Thank you very much Gaetano for your kind comment!

Great video, loved the use of the mandrel, Ive done that know with OUT the mandrel and its a pain, that looks MUCH easier! Will be doing that the next time. What size was that tubing?
what brand & color is that at the beginning of the vid? the ones i’ve ordered in that color aren’t even close when they arrive
nice vid, new sub
How does one expand for larger globes? More starting rows?
very good
I love you, Marko! Happy new year!

How much cord do you start with?
Wrapped it perfect twice, lost it both times trying to tighten it
It's that little bit at 4:40 where you say 'tighten the knot around the core' where I go from perfect to a tangled mess... ;-/
+Malcolm Morris
Hehe, keep at it :). You will get it.
Mark
+Malcolm Morris same here, that tightening is hard part! But still, should be doable :)
in fact, just did this and tightening must be done slowly, and It'll turn out fine
yes. it worked for me too after a couple of tries. patience is the key..
A late thought, you can also use a smaller mandrel. That is what worked for me on the smaller (tiny) globe knots.
excelente y dinamico gracias===
May I ask how many passes for a 1 inch core? or length of cord I should start with?

Hey there!
The core I used for this demonstration was probably around 3/4 inches, so I would assume you would need 3 or 4 passes. At that point you could also try a larger globe knot. The thing with globe knots is that there are many versions, with different numbers of faces.

U got it😎

Can you please help me for a not, I want to put a marbel in that knot as you did in the video,but marble should be visible from out side and it should not fall from that knot, I try to make but marble is not visible from outside ,please help me🙏🙏🙏
Hey there!
Often times this knot is used for that purpose:

The marble is seen from the outside.
Mark
This is very difficult to follow without the ends being marked in a different color.
What if I need a bigger ball???
💯💯
Ridiculously hard to tighten it. Even after my 10th try i still cant get it. It always left me with 1 space extremely uneven. At the verge of giving up.

4'45 . please how do it small basket ?? thank
Woulda been helpful if you had shown how to tighten it. I tried it 3 times and every time it ruined the whole thing…
I can't see the ends of your rope. I can't tell which end you are looping back. The cam needs to move back a bit so that I can see the whole picture.
Did not show the knot advertised in picture. Dont do that
Nono!!!! Cortés el video! lo contaste
🖖 👍
Looks very complicated.
2 hours trying to do this didn’t work
Why wordings on the image. How to see
lol ses mon prochain porte clés

I know it’s just a skill issue but this knot is so damn annoying.
