working towards the end of the rope and
catching the loose end of the twine so it

will not pull out.

the rope.

3 Work the wrapping back from the end
until the whipping is long enough.
4 Push the needle in to the rope at the base

of the whipping and out directly opposite.
5 Bring the twine straight up to the top of
the whipping and push straight through
the rope down the other side of the

whipping and trough the rope again,
coming out at the first entry point.

twine on both sides of fhe whipping.
