This knot, which is made up of two intertwined ropes, dates back to ancient times, when Celtic sailors who spent months at sea would remember their sweethearts by weaving rope souvenirs for them. The sailor’s knot represents harmony, camaraderie, affection, and profound love because it is made up of two interwoven knots. The knot represents the melding of individual lives into one with a single aim, denoting the union of two into one. Though simple to tie, it is one of the strongest knots available, and it symbolizes a link that strengthens with time and under duress.
