Method
Form a bight near the
end of the rope by
moving the end
counterclockwise, so
the end lies beneath the
standing part (1). Hold
the bight with the left
hand and make a large
loop counterclockwise
by passing the end
behind the first loop
(2). Make a clockwise
turn around the base of
the first bight with the
end (3). and. keeping
hold of the end. take the
side of the second loop
in the left hand and
thread it through the
bight (4. 5). Hold the
standing part with the
right hand while the left
hand pulls up the loop
to draw the knot tight
(5.6).
