1 Fold the rope back and stitch through the
two pieces of the rope, catching the tail
of the twine so it will not pull out.

2 Pull tight.
3 Start to wrap tightly round the ropes
working back over the stitching.

4 When half the wrapping has been made,
make a stitch through the rope.
5 Bring the twine round the rope and stitch

down through the other piece of rope
before carrying on with the wrapping
turns.

6 Bring the twine round and up between
the two pieces of rope and then go on to
make two trapping turns.
7 Finish as a seizing (see page 86).
