About the Van Wijk Knot

The Van Wijk Knot is named for its creator, Lisa Van Wijk. Rumour has it that she wanted to create the world’s tallest knot… or at least one that looked tall and could still be worn. The result is a tall cylindrical knot with just the right amount of artistic flair.

Be sure to keep the loops loose because the wide end needs to move through them easily.
