Noun edit

chain sinnet (plural chain sinnets)

  1. Various types of chain knots made in a line or rope which, in its simplest form, is formed by pulling successive loops of the line through the previous loop. More complex sinnets can be produced using hitches, doubled loops and so on rather than simple loops. Used mainly to shorten the line or rope, or to make for easy storage. Also used for decorative purposes.
