Ian's Shoelace Site - "Ian Knot" = Ian's Fast Shoelace Knot I tie my shoelaces with my own "Ian Knot", the World's Fastest Shoelace Knot: Make a loop with both ends and simultaneously pull them through each other to form an almost instant knot. Don't confuse this with the very similar looking Two Loop Shoelace Knot - the technique is quite different and much faster. It's a truly revolutionary way to tie your shoelaces! Please don't be put off by these detailed instructions - even the Standard Shoelace Knot looks tricky when illustrated! Give it a try; you'll find it's easier than it looks. Step 1: Tie a Left-over-Right Starting Knot as shown, then hold the laces as pictured. Step 2: This move creates two loops, one with the loose end behind, the other with the loose end in front. Step 3: This next move crosses the two loops over each other. Note that the diagram at left shows somewhat exaggerated crossed loops. Step 4: This tricky move requires each hand to use the two fingers inside its own loop to grab the loose end of the other hand's loop.
