2 Having brought the working end round
behind the hand, open out a “diamond”
with a bar across, from the under pair of

strands.
3 Lead the working end under, over, under,
diagonally through the “diamond." This
may be thought of as following a

“diamond ladder.”
4 Bring the working end round behind the

hand and up, following the line of the
standing part, to commence doubling the
knot.
5 The complete knot doubled.
