Purpose
To join (or bend) two lines of similar size and construction together, this regular
standby is a compact knot with both ends streamlined to lie alongside their
adjacent standing parts.
Tying
Bring both working ends together, parallel and pointing in opposite directions.
With one end tie an overhand knot around the adjacent standing part (figure 1).
With the other end, tie an identical overhand knot; that is, if one is left-handed,
the other must be left-handed, or vice versa (figure 2). Tighten each individual
knot, then pull on both standing parts of the line so that the knots slide together
(figures 3–4).
