Sheepshank with ends tied
A sheepshank in the bight is not particularly
secure and can be easily spilled if the two protruding
loops are nudged in the wrong direction. This can be
avoided by using the ends to ‘lock’ the knot.
1 Tie a sheepshank in the usual way. The ends here are lined up, ready for
the next step.
2 Pass the ends through the loops at either end of the knot.
