Why is it easier to tie a knot with cotton strings as compared to silk strings?

The whole goal with a knot is to create as much friction between each of the strings as possible. The greater the friction, the better the knot will hold. Silk string is very smooth as compared to the cotton string. So the friction produced when a cotton string is tied in a knot is greater than that when a knot tied with silk string. That is why a knot tied with cotton string will hold better than a knot tied with silk string.

How do you make the string that Jewish people wear?
These strings are called zizith (Numbers, end of ch. 15). Take a four-cornered garment, and make a hole in each corner (about 1 1/3 inches from the corner, measured diagonally). Take four strings which are each at least two-ply (eight-ply is customary). Three should be about 3 feet long, and the fourth should be about 5 feet long. Insert the four strings into one of the four holes and bring them to the mid-point of their length (except the long string, which should have all of its extra length on one side). Fold them so they appear to be eight. Tie all the strings in a square knot. Wrap the long string seven times around the others and tie all the strings in a square knot. Wrap it eight times and tie a square knot. Wrap it eleven times and tie a square knot. Wrap it thirteen times and tie a square knot. Take more sets of such strings and repeat for the other three corners. Voila.
