Turk's-head Knot

The following is a description in color showing how to tie the Turk's-head knot. You can
use any rope material except for leather. The Turk's-head knot made of leather, the Wood
Badge Woggle, is reserved for Scouting Leaders who have earned the prestigious Wood
Badge.

The yellow rope is to indicate the stationary end (Y) or to indicate the first wrap, the green
is to indicate a previous wrap, and the red is the working end (X) or final wrap.
