KNOTS FOR
EYE HOOKS

First type

This knot is quick and easy
to make and is not bulky,
so it can be used for small
and medium-sized hooks.
It will withstand sharp
jerks. but could give some
problems if it has been
used for a long time in
conditions of uneven
strain. For this reason it
should be tightened very
well.
Method
Pass the end through the
eye of the hook and take a
turn around its shank (1).
Continue by passing the
end over the standing part
and inserting it into the
loop (2). Tighten the knot
by holding the end
securely against the hook
and pulling the standing
part (3).
