The name comes from Carrick Roads - a large natural anchorage by Falmouth in Cornwall, England. Carrick is also a local government district in Cornwall and the knot is the emblem of Carrick District Council. 'Carrick bend' can also refer to the [[single carrick bend]].<br /> <br /> The name is also said to have been derived from the [[Carrack]], a medieval type of ship.<br /> <br /> == Uses ==<br /> Securing two lines, particularly heavy ropes or for decorative purposes.<br /> It can be tied in rope that is too stiff or large for many other common bends.<br /> <br /> == Tying ==<br /> [[Image:Double coin knot.jpg|thumb|This decorative knot has the same [[topology]] as the carrick bend above, as can be seen by tracing the paths of the outermost blue and red lines.]]<br /> See article/pictures.<br /> <br /> Considered to be one of the most secure bends. Will not jam (i.e. can be untied easily) even after carrying a significant load and/or getting wet.<br /> <br /> Unless the two free ends are lashed (seized) to the two standing parts, the knot will collapse ([[Knot#Security|capsize]]) into a different shape under load, which does not reduce its strength in any way. It is very important when lashing, that ''both'' ends are lashed, or else the bend will slip.<br /> <br /> In the decorative version, both standing ends enter from the top and<br /> both working ends exit from the bottom, with the knot being flattened<br /> out (though the [[topology]] remains unchanged). In this configuration<br /> the knot is known as the ''Josephine knot'' ([[macrame]]) or<br /> ''double coin knot'' ([[Chinese knotting]]). It is often tied in double lines for a flatter, more elaborate appearance.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[List of bend knots|List of bends]]<br /> * [[List of knots]]<br /> * [[Single carrick bend]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * [[The Ashley Book of Knots]] discusses this knot in the entry for drawing #1439<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.animatedknots.com/carrick/ Grog's Animated Knots: How to tie the carrick bend]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Knots]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[de:Trossenstek]]</div>
