dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 13 hours agoThere is no incorrect way. The typical shoelace knot is actually just a square knot, but one where you make the second part out of two loops (bights) rather than the standing ends. What technique you use to arrive there is completely irrelevant as long as the end result is the same.
(You could use a traditional square knot instead if you really wanted to, but it would be annoying to untie.)

I’d guess most people tend to tie grannies rather than squares just because you tend to repeat which hand is wrapping which strand over the other.

I was in my 30s when I learned that I needed to go overhand one way then over the other way. Really embarrassing because I had known how to use a square knot since I was 10.
