Pocket Guide to Knots & Splices

1 Create the first element of the mat by

almost making an overhand knot, but not
actually tucking the end through.
2 Make a second element; this time the line

3 Continue to make and lock elements until
four have been formed. The fifth element

will interweave with the first to complete
the mat.
