LOS CORDONES

LOS CORDONES SE SUELTAN

SI NO LOS SABES ATAR,

TE CUENTO UN SECRETITO

Y MUY PRONTO APRENDERÁS.

TOMANDO LAS DOS PUNTAS,

UNA CRUZ DEBES FORMAR:

PASA UNA POR LA "CUEVA"

Y AHORA LA ESTIRARÁS.

OBSERVA... ¡GENIAL!

¡SE FORMÓ UN NUDO!

LLÉVALO HASTA ABAJO

SIN NINGÚN APURO.

TOMA UN CORDÓN

FORMA UNA OREJITA,

EL OTRO LA ABRAZA

Y SE METE EN LA "CUEVITA".

CUANDO YA ESTÉN

LAS DOS OREJITAS,

CON UN NUDO EN EL MEDIO,

¡QUEDARÁN MÁS BONITAS!

ES UN JUEGO ENTRETENIDO,

LO TIENES QUE PRACTICAR;

SI TIRAS DE LAS PUNTAS,

SE VOLVERÁN A DESATAR

Standard Shoelace Knot Also known as the "Around The Tree Shoelace Knot" or simply the "Bowknot"
Of all the shoelace tying techniques shown to me by others, this is by far the most common: Make a loop with one end, wrap the other end around it and pull a loop through the "hole" in the middle. This is how I was first taught to tie my shoelaces when I was young.
Step 1: Tie a Left-over-Right Starting Knot as shown, then make the right (blue) end into a "loop" by simply doubling it back onto itself.	Step 2: Take the left (yellow) end and pass it around to the right, going behind the right loop.
Step 3: Continue the left (yellow) end around the right loop to end up in front.	Step 4: Start to feed the left (yellow) lace into the "hole" that has just been made.
Step 5: With the left (yellow) lace now through the "hole", grab hold of both loops and start to pull the knot tight.	Step 6: Continue pulling on the loops until the knot is firmly tied.
