Some ways you can individualise your watch are by enhancing its identity with their own coloured woggles. One of the most traditional nautical fancy knots is the Turk’s head woggle. It gets its name from its similarity to a Turkish turban and was used as a decoration in many places on board Ship. The amidships position on a ships helm usually had a Turks head on it so as the helmsman would know the helm was amidships at night.

Each member of your watch could make and have the same colour Turks head woggle. These can be made out of anything but the two best materials for this purpose are plastic coloured washing line or coloured multi stranded electrical cable.
