> This name of this dance, suggested by Tim Eyres, not only refers to the knot figure but also to the symmetric geometrical
> patterns in the remainder of the dance as well as the enclosing square shape of the set. These features are typical of a
> knot garden, a formal garden of herbs and aromatics plants interwoven to resemble knotted rope, where repetition,
> control and exacting symmetry are essential.
> 
> Notes: While this dance has six couples, there are only three separate roles, namely ‘head’, ‘side’ and ‘middle’ couples,
> and thus the dance only requires three repetitions to return to original places, having danced each role once.
>
>  For an optional additional challenge, the dance may be repeated in reel time a further three times through to create a medley.
