Back Splice

The Back Splice is known to have braids on one end, and are known to be
temporary whipping knots. It’s one of the easiest knots you can master!

Instructions:

1. First, make a crown knot by letting each strand of rope pass
through what’s next to it, and then letting it pass over and under
the strands opposite them.
2. Tighten the knot and let each strand be spliced into the rope by

letting them pass under the alternate strands.
3. Finally, make a second and third set of strands by tucking them at
the back of the splice.
