The Double Coin Knot

雙錢結, 双钱结, 淡路結び, 날개매듭

The Double Coin Knot (DCK) is one of the smallest mat knots. A single DCK is the same as a *error: link for carrick not found* with the loose ends on one side joined. DCKs tied in sequence are the exact same as carrick bends tied in sequence.

          weave diagonally down to the left corner starting by going
          over the middle loop (++)
