Pocket Guide to Knots & Splices

1 Start with a single Bosun’s whistle lanyard

knot (see page 240), tied loosely. It will
be doubled by following each of the

standing parts into the knot.
2 One at a time follow in from each
standing part, each to go about half way
round the original knot.

3 Before completing the cycle of the
original knot, form the knot loosely into
shape and then put the working ends up

through the center of the knot. The
working ends should pass round and pull
in the standing parts.

4 Pull tight and work out the slack.
5 The finished knot.
