KNOTS THAT BIND
3 Finish the knot by tightening.
As you tighten the knot, hold tension on the running end of the
Figure Eight Knot. This will aid in holding the wrap tight while making
the final Half Hitch. The Butcher’s Knot should not be considered a per-
manent binding, but you can make it more secure by adding an
Overhand Knot to the running end of the Figure Eight Knot.
