Now is the best time of year to learn the slip knot. I'll also tell you why
Swimsuits are in high season now. If yours are held together by ribbons, the sliding knot will be your new best friend this summer. Its green flag: it can also be used on jewellery such as necklaces and bracelets.
Triangle bikinis, halterneck swimming costumes, adjustable knickers. Various swimwear hangs, perhaps not by a thread, but by a thread nonetheless. They have to be knotted at the neck, at the back, to the right and left of the hips. After a dip in the water, they have to be readjusted - the element wears away at the material - and the worry that a bow might come loose floats along with it.
Much more practical: the flexible sliding knot. It lives up to its name and can be easily slid from loose to tight. And back again. This means you never have to loosen the connection of your bikini straps again. Sounds good? Then read on carefully now.
How to make the slip knot
Step 1: Place one bikini strap in a loop. Place the second one lengthwise over it.
Step 2: Wrap the loose end of the loop twice around the other two strands.
Step 3: Then thread the loose end through the resulting eyelets and the loop.
Step 4: Tighten.
Step 5: Repeat the same with the other carrier.
Now you can tighten or loosen your bikini straps as much as you like. No more closing, tying, opening, closing, tying, opening, ... more.
On a smaller scale, the sliding knot also works great as a clasp for bracelets or necklaces that you have threaded yourself. So you no longer need any help putting it on!
