Crown Sinnet (CS4 & CS6)
By Lazarus
A Crown Sinnet is nothing more than a series of Crown Knots tied on top of each other. It creates an attractive cylindrical shape which can be great for a handle. This can be done with any number of cords three and up.

4-Strand Crown Sinnet (CS4)
This is nothing then a series of crown knots tied one on top of the other. Reminder: To make a Crown Knot, each cord goes over top of the one next to it, moving counterclockwise. So Red…
6-Strand Crown Sinnet (CS6)
The 6-strand version (and versions with more than six strands), will have some space in the middle of the knot. This is a great place to put a core if you’d like a bit more stiffness and stability to your handle.
With a 6-strand variant, the core should be the same diameter (or just a little bigger) as the ropes.
Within 8-strand variant, the court can be almost twice the diameter of the ropes
Rope consumption
- With ¼” (~6mm) rope:
- A 4-strand Crown Sinnet
- will consume a bit less than 4” (10cm)/strand to create 1” (2.5cm) of handle, (e.g. 11”/strand will produce 3”).
- The handle will be 1” (2.5cm) wide
- There is no room in the center of the Sinnet for any kind of core
- A 6-strand Crown Sinnet
- will consume a bit less than 4” (10cm)/strand to create 1” (2.5cm) of handle, (e.g. 11”/strand will produce 3”).
- The handle will be 1.25” (3cm) wide.
- With this number of strands, the knot is still quite stable and no core is required (although I do often use one), however there is room in the center of the handle for core approximately the same diameter as the rope you’re working with (a Sinnet with more strands will results in a handle with a larger hole in the core)
