Ocean Plat - Flat Knot Mat - John Jason Fallows

Ocean Plat – Flat Knot Mat –

Check this nautical door mat I made with a 25 foot piece of half inch / three strand rope tied into a flat knot – the Ocean Plat.

Alright today on Repairs101 I’m going to show you how to create a mat using a single strand of rope and tying it into a flat knot called the Ocean Plat.

Now Ashley says you can tie this knot hanging from a peg on the wall the way I did with my Cargo Net Hammock video, but I’m going to lay it out so you can see the pattern evolve.

You know, at first it may seem like an exercise in advanced spatial reasoning but if you just follow the pattern, you’ll see it’s really quite simple.

OK that’s what it should look like before you get into the second pass.

Periodically you’ll need to stop and sort it all out and chase the slack out of the knot into the loose ends.
