Thump mat

In this tutorial I demonstrate how to tie a thump mat, which is a rope mat you can make with practically any type of rope. It is a simple, 5 step process. Still, if I am going too fast, you can slow down the video to your liking. This style of rope mats is quite common and can serve not only as a mat, but a coaster or just a decorative, flat knot. It is also featured in the Ashley’s book of knots under number 2360. I hope you will enjoy the video!
