Method
First, pass the end
through the eye from
below; then pass it
behind the hook to form
the first turn around the
shank (1). Form a
second turn inside the
first (2). The number of
these turns can vary; as
long as they all go in the
same direction, you can
have as many as you
like. Remember,
however, that the grip
of the knot does not
depend on the number
of turns alone, while
they do affect its bulk.
Make a halfturn into
the turns formed so that
the end wraps around
them (3,4); then close
it on itself leaving the
line issuing from the
hook underneath (5).
This completes the knot,
which should be
worked into the shape
shown in figure 6.
