How to Tie the Celtic Heart Knot by TIAT (A Knotty Valentine) 

Congratulations to whoever was able to do this successfully

I love making this knot. It's so simple and beautiful. Tightening is a pain in the rump, but it's so worth the time it takes to get it right. Thanks so much for sharing!

I have played this many times and am getting pretty good at doing it solo. Your hands are beautiful and the music is sublime. The best 2:22 of my day. Sending love and light.

2024 anyone? X3

It took me three times, but I was able to make the heart knot in my daughters hair!! It looks magnificent. Thank you.

I tried this one and tried to make it and it totally looks perfect ............. !

this is great! I tied this using decorative braided rope (intended to be trim) and used hot glue to reinforce the knot. I made several absolutely adorable necklaces for myself and friends. Such a great knot!

I don't understand why people are getting frustrated. It's simple in design! It's actually an advance knot. It took me two days to figure it out, but i got it down to decorate my boyfriend's gift, who is is a sailor and loves rope knots. Don't give up!

used this knot to shorten my shoelaces (took me a bit to figure out how to lace/anchor it through the loops, but i got it eventually)!! thank you so much for this super comprehensive tutorial, i never realized heart knots were this simple to do :D

I make silver jewelry with my dad and I am working on tying this knot out of some silver wire. finding a balance of thickness and flexibility is proving to be somewhat of a challenge. I have to heat up the wire and tie it as fast as possible while it remains flexible, but without burning my hands. THanks for the video it helps a lot...

This is just knot possible for me.

Those who are struggling, it is probably because you can't really just tug the ends to tighten it up once you're done. It will tend to tighten in places and go loose in others. You have to kind of tighten by sections to get the right shape. I just did itty bitty ones to tie round homemade candles. Very nice!

how did I get from cleaning my room to this

truly wish these vid tuts had a recommended length for each project

Thank you, This is awesome, the 1st knot I've tried from your videos since I discovered TIAT a month or so ago. I received my 1st order of paracord today and I'm off and new knotting YAHOO

I think it looks like a heart just fine, I think all one has to do is OPEN one's eyes to see the heart! Thank You for the video!!!

Video:ten years old Me: at the age of around 13, “this video grew up with me”

His knot: beautiful celtic grace My knot: a toddler's drawing

That was easier than I thought it would be, so I decided to double the string. It looks great, thank you! Who else came here because of My Time at Sandrock?

Absolute best description I've found here! Thank you for being helpful!

Ya boy really tryna do this on his hoodie strings for his gf... happy Valentine’s Day !

u just made my day. My fiance Brandon is very into his Irish heritage. This will be perfect for Christmas2015.

When you say simple, I did not expect it to be so simple. Thanks.

It's so simple! I thought it would be difficult! Thank you! Please include in your commentry about what sort of cord we need and of what length.

Can't wait for the stickers in early 2010. :)

Please tell me im not the only one who rage quit doing this-

ok. i got this, but why 1:52 it literally looks like heart with sharp edges at the bottom but mine not?

I would like to learn more of this. I'm not sure what to look for when buying cord for knotting. Can you tell me what to buy for someone starting out? Thanks - Mia

This.video is so well made! Doesn't need spoken instructions as the quality of video is very good!

Thanks for the instructions I used it on my dinner rolls and they came out amazing! Cheers from Israel!

Perfect for Mother’s Day in quarantine!

i made this on mother's day :D best feeling EVAH!

man i cant do it, mine looks like an alien's foot!

thanks so much this tutorial was so helpful!!!! i did this knot with my shoelaces and tied my converse a really cool way using this knot!!!

Hi I've been learning alot from these videos thank you so much jd of tiat. I got into knot end of 2013 by chance. I love the celtic knots you don't see the celtic art and designs here in Ireland much anymore which is sad.modern living. not many want to learn the ol craft so thanx for keeping the art alive .Tony

interesting knot,

I've always thought this knot was cool.

I have come to a conclusion. I cannot do this with my shoelace.

I got it on my first try!!! It is not only a heart,but keeps up to make an amazing Celtic form!!!!!😃

Excellent demonstration!!! I’ve tried so many ! Excellent! Thank you!

The reason Your strings aren't becoming Celtic hearts is most likely String placement, not the type of string. Make sure your string looks exactly like it does at 1:15. Notice which string stays to the right side. Because it sometimes swaps the string in the heart backwards, which gives you just a knot.

im finding it difficult tightening the knot because it likes to go ugly when you tighten it

I have used this video and tied a lent of viking knit into a stunning necklace, on more than one occasion.

Very clear .. follow the finger placements exactly. And use thick cord for maximum effect. I used wool first to practise then thick silver cord, the kind used for piping garments and it looks amazing. I finished it off at the top with wire and i also wove tiny crystal beads into it. Thanks so much for sharing your skills!

nailed it on my 2nd attempt. now im off to get sum supplies to make a 2 toned one as a gift for my sweetie.

Who's here in 2020 when you're just done with life? 🙋

Instructions not clear enough, ended up pulling out own heart.

Followed along and made a perfect one first try! Thanks.

I'm so happy I found this guy.

Thank you for this video! I'm going to try to see if I can do this with the hemp cord I've got. Would make a nice addition to my bracelets!

stunning, cbys

This would make a really nice wall decoration if you made a bunch in a row

what kind of material that he used ? not paracord , right ?

I had nothing better to do than make stuff out of string :) Thanks wonderful knot guy

Thank you ! And thank you !!!!!!! I made a metal necklace With this beautiful KNOT HEART. Again thank you very much

Elementary yes! But what a stunning knot!

Took two tries with a 16" x 3/8" rope to get right. Helps to stop video in places to compare and go slow. At the end you have to stop the video and compare what you have made to the knot on the screen, take your time and study it. A little loosening and tightening are needed to shape the knot and you should have it. If anyone thinks this knot is hard, try fishing knots with 4lb mono.

Instructions not clear. I ended up auto-asphyxiating myself in a batman costume again.

Love how simple the design is, thanks for all the knot love ^_^

You really know how to tie yer knot Greg, son. Thanks for your time.

When I first saw the picture of this knot, I thought it was a freeway off ramp in Los Angeles.

Why can't i do this *frustrated*

can u people stop calling him names and complaining about the video? knots r not easy and u have to work to get them right, don't come here and bitch about the video because it is very clear,u can see how he does it, I understand the frustration but don't get mad at the man, just try to improve ur knot skills, or just give up, ur choice

Nice work JD. Just tied my first one and gave it to me daughter. Thank you!

It took me a half dozen tries but I finally got it! Thanks

You would be a great teacher if you would take out the music and explain each step at a time.But as is, it is really hard to know what to do to make it look like a heart after all the tying is done. Other than that I guess I have to say thank you for posting what you did. But it is REALLY frustrating to try this with out proper instructions.

Would make a lovely center for a bondage harness :) Ouulala! Love this!

oh my...I've tryed six times!! it's not easy at all.! oh my....try again...😘

Love your videos! So wonderfully demonstrated. Years ago I was into macramé. You have once again piqued my interest in knot tying. Thank you for sharing. I am pinning your site to my favorites!

So lovely. Thank you for the easy-to-follow demo. Never seen this knot before.

Omg it's easier than I thought

Instructions unclear, mine looks like a literal human heart

Okay but like am I the only one that had this in their recommendation in 2019

I have used this tuet and tied this knot in viking knit. It turned out very nicely!

I made 4! One for me, one for my friend, one for my other friend, and one for my other friend. BEST VALENTINES DAY CRAFT EVER! (For me )

"A Knotty Valentine" I See what you did there ;)

I cant do it, must be broken this patch :{

Mine turned into a... I don't even know..

Nice vid making a Valentine's necklace for my mom with this

Surprisingly easy. Good tutorial.

I like the background music.. =)

mine turned into... a knot.

Note to self: Make it using spaghetti

Gracias, soy de P.R y me gusta las manualidades, Viva el arte

I love this knot. Can you post a link to a good site or suggest a place I could get just the right cord? I've now tried a few different kinds and it's just not working out very well. Thank you!

We'd like to share this in our e-newsletter - with your permission.

how many meters do I need?

i dont get it

Thank you :) this’ll make for a lovely design to incorporate into a Valentine’s shibari session

Omg that waa so cool and simple and sweet. Gotta try. I want to make it with Mizuhiki paper string.

Who's here at 2020 lol

Yeah it took me some time but I figured out how to fix up a heart that I let down XD

this was easy I made it on my second try😂😂😊☺

I love this knot and have done it several times in several mediums. Some worked better than others and some were complete disasters. So far it has been paracord that worked best for me- what mm cord do you recommend?

After 14 years... I finally did it🎉

mine turned out a pretzel

mine came out like a blob

I'm 11, 12 in September I DID IT YAASSSS SS 😂😂😂😋😋😋😜😜😜😎😎😎👏👏👏

What kind of material are you using and the size of the cord? I think a paracord would be great to use but I'd appreciate hearing back fro you on what you've used. I have a special order for men's clladdah keychain's and I think this would be an amazing embellishment!

Idk why this has like 600 dislikes, this is awesome, thanks for sharing!
