Taking both ends of a string and crossing them over - like when tying your shoes - is permitted on Shabbat.
Crossing them over twice - thereby creating a knot - is forbidden.
Tying a knot at the end of a piece of string is also forbidden. Joining 2 or more pieces of string this way is also forbidden.
Tying knots is one of the 39 forbidden categories of work forbidden on Shabbat.
