Method
Hold the rope in the leh
hand and take up the
slack in the form of a
letter S (1). Move the
right hand
counterclockwise to
form a small loop (2);
then thread the loop
over the end of the first
bight (3). Move the left
hand counterclockwise
to form a second loop
(4) and thread this over
the end of the second
bight (5). Insert the
right end in the small
opening below the first
bight. Reverse the small
loop around the first
bight. Tighten the knot
by pulling the two ends
at the same time and
with equal force (6).lt
is good practice to
check that the two
bights are securely
inserted in the
respective eyes and that
they are not too short;
for if they do not
protrude sufficiently
they could come away
and thus undo the knot.
