half knot twist : The...twisted semmits are made by repeating one half only of the square knot either to the left or right of the anchors. The sennit begins to twist after about the fourth half knot

demi-noeud plat : Ce noeud se fait en faisant toujours la première partie du noeud plat. En continuant toujours cette opération vous verrez tourner votre travail.
