alternating torus knots are (2,n) Turk's head knots. ((p,q) = q times around a circle in the interior of the torus, and p times around its axis of rotational symmetry.) Turk's head knots are easy to edit though hard to tie. Uses in culture The World Organization of the Scout Movement uses a variation of the Turk's head knot called a woggle to affix their neckerchiefs or scarfs and as a fire starting tool. The woggle is also used by some Scout Leaders who complete training courses to be awarded the Wood Badge insignia. It is an official part of the uniform.
