A strong shoelace knot that slips open
In moving out of the breastfeeding and nappy advice age, I’m becoming newly qualified to give advice on all things Saturday mornings and sports fields instead. I’ll confine myself to one observation here: it’s possible to tie a shoelace knot that’s about as tight as a double knot but which slips open when you pull on the ends, thus less likely to result in irritation for kids, teachers, and coaches! The Secure Shoelace Knot / Double Slip Knot is a pretty and pretty easy strong slip knot.
I learned about these types of knots (if not this exact knot, I don’t recall) at Kiwifoo 2018, probably not quite the building the future they had in mind.
