The Classical Wooden Knot Puzzle

[tgiro01]

This puzzle has been around for years. I wouldn't be surprised if the first one was made by Noah, though the rumors of a certain Nazarene carpenter making them are probably false. But - however old the puzzle may be, it's always new to someone. They're easy to make and fun to watch folks figure them out, even tose who have seen them before.

I sent my Christmas ornaments out this year as puzzles made from SpectraPly. All you have to do is add a hanger and they make nice ornaments.

Anyway - here are patterns for 3/8" knots, 1/2 inch knots, and 3/4" knots. Alright, I included the instructions for them, too.

Intriguing to look at and the instructions are a great help.

Very nice Tony and great instructions. Surprisingly I haven't seen this puzzle before.

Does this make me younger than the image I see in the mirror?

I saw that somewhere as I have the pattern on my stack to do for spring shows. That stack keeps getting higher and higher.
