SWIVEL
HITCHES
First type
There are two rings. one at
each end of the swivel, to
make it easier to connect
the line, so you can use
any of the knots described
above for hooks with eyes
(see pp. 144--157). This
particular knot has the
added feature that it is a
slipped knot. thus allowing
the knot to be snugged up
to the rings, so that the line
becomes one with the
swivel.
Method
First pass the end through
the ring on the swivel and
bring it back around its
standing part (1). Then
take a number of turns
around the bight.
tightening them as they are
formed (2). Finish the knot
by passing the end
through the eye of the
bight. and tighten the knot
by pulling the swivel and 2
the standing part (3).
