Begin by forming a loop
that is a little larger than
the actual size you want
(1). then using the
thumb and index finger
twist part of the line
around the loop. This
creates a senes of false
turns which would
come undone if left to
themselves (2). Form a
bight in the bottom of
the loop (3) and insert
it into the central turn
(4). Tighten by holding
the two ends of the line
and pulling the loop
(5,6).
