How to Tie (Cylinder, Mat & Ball) Turk's Heads by TIAT

The 3-lead 4-bight Turk's Head is one of the most requested knots for me to show how to tie. Still, Ive resisted showing how to tie it on account so many others have already done so. This said, after reviewing videos and scrutinizing the methods shown, I discovered that others tie the 3L4B Turk's Head differently than I do, and so I feel its valid to show my method. To add something uncommon to the common, I additionally show the relationships between the 3L4B Turks Head on a staff, as a mat and as a ball—all of which are effectively the same knot.

a double coin is the same as a carrick bend right?

@jesuswasblack00 - Its a type of Carrick Bend - only the running ends are parallel to each other.

I'm an interior designer and have an interior design/decorating website. I just came across your videos, and this knot-tying stuff is all very new to me. My mind is racing with ways to use these in home accessories!! Question: If I wanted to create a flat (mat) Turks head knot, do I have to create it as a cylinder first, as you showed?

@Addicted2Decorating - You do not... You just as easily jump to the mat.
