The Special Interlock lacrosse knot is one of the most used lacrosse knots for stringing a lacrosse stick. While a normal interlock knot secures the mesh to the inside of the lacrosse head, a Special Interlock or SI knot helps pull the mesh down and sit on top of the sidewall. Pulling your lacrosse mesh down using an SI provides a few benefits for your pocket that other knots don’t. Other lacrosse knots in this series are basic lacrosse knots (1’s and 2’s) and advance lacrosse knots such as the stacked special interlock.
