The Ghiordes knot or the single knot, symmetrical knot and Turkish knot, is among the most commonly used knots in the making of carpets. The weaver passes the knot between two adjacent warps. He then, brings it back underneath one. After wrapping them around both the warps to form a collar, he pulls them through the center. Both ends of the yarn come from between the same warps.

The Senneh knot or the double knot, asymmetrical knot and Persian knot, is another commonly used knot. The weaver wraps the yarn only around one warp. He passes the yarn under the next warp and leaves it open, so that a single warp separates the ends of the yarn. The yarn might be open on the left side or the right side. This is the reason why people also refer to the Senneh knot as the asymmetrical knot.
