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).
