== Double knots==
# A tight double knot or a single knot with one string onto itself is forbidden because we no longer know how to distinguish Kesher Uman from ordinary tight knots. <Ref> Rama (317:1) in the name of the Hagot Alfasi about a double knot and the Smag concerning a single knot with one string.  </ref> Some even permit a double knot if it’s not meant to last. <Ref> Yalkut Yosef (317:8) says that some disagree and permit even a double knot as long as it’s not Kesher Shel Kayama according to the Rosh (only Kayama is a factor, not Uman) and concludes the Minhag is to permit and the stringent one will be blessed. But in a case of need there’s no need to be strict. </ref> For example, it’s permissible to tie a double knot for a belt (gartel) or sash (tichel) if it’s going to be untied in 24 hours since it’s not meant to be tight. <Ref> Shaarei Teshuva (317:1), Tzitz Eliezer 16:10, Menuchat Ahava 14:5 </ref> Those who are stringent will be blessed. <Ref> To be strict for the opinion of Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 8:45 and Rav Poalim O”C 2:44 </ref>
