Traditionally used on sailboats, rope mats have crossed over into the mainstream, showing up at countless boutiques. We've spotted some mats going for $200 and up, which is a bit silly when you realize that it's just knotted rope. OK, the knotting method (which is called the Turk's Head Knot) is a bit complex, but we've found a tutorial that demystifies the process over at Summit Post.
As for rope, you'll want to stay away from the "hairy" natural sisal variety: It'll just wreck your hands as you work. Nylon-blend (or plain cotton) white rope will look just as pretty without scratching up fingers.
