Which hands do you use to make the different types of knots?

I always hold down the string that I am knotting on with my left hand, and the string that is making the knot in my right. I do that for all of the different kinds of knots.

I normally use both and I still do but as I am starting to play the guitar and my right hands fingers harden (not sure how to describe it) I think it is feeling a little weird when knotting. I'm still getting used to it as now I am literally using my fingers A LOT. Hehe anyways yeah normally I switch hands when knotting (my right hand for backward knots and left hand for backward knots.

it really depends. are you right or left handed? i'm right handed and it feels weird to use my left so my backward knots don't make a perfect backwards 4 shape. i think whatever feels most comfortable for you is best.

Hi, @stewon6969!
There is no particular hand you need to use for each knot. For me, though, I use my right hand to do a forward knot, and my left hand to do a backward knot. For a forward backward knot, I use my right hand for the first half of the forward-backward knot, and my left for the second half. Vice-versa for the backward-forward knot. This is pretty common among knotters, but does not apply for everyone else. I have seen a lot of people do the opposite, or use just one of their hands for the entirety of all four knots. I really hope this helped, and happy knotting! 😄
