Definition

This knot that is mentioned in The Ashley Book of Knots is present in a pair in the square knot. Here, one half knot has the left end over the right one while the other has the right end over the left. If both the half knots are tied in a similar fashion, it will form a granny knot. For binding purposes, it should always be tied around a support and not in the air.
