Method
Take a turn with the
left·hand rope over and
around the right (1,2).
Then cross the right end
over the lett to form a
loop (3). The end
below is bent forward
(4) and is knotted over
the other end in such a
way that both ends
come out on the same
side as their own
standing parts (5). Pull
the ends sideways to
tighten the knot.

SLIPPED
REEF KNOT
(SINGLE BOW)
To prepare for this knot
leave one of the ends
longer than the other.
Fold this end into a
bight and insert it into
the turn. When
tightened the knot
holds the bight (6).
