Matthew Walker (double): similar to the single version of the knot (see page 116), except that the
first strand is taken around the standing part, under the other two strands and brought up through its
own bight (figure 90.1). The second strand is taken around the standing part, under the third strand, up
through the bight of the first strand, and on through its own bight (figure 90.2). The third and last
strand is brought around the standing part, up through both bights in turn and on up through its own
bight and the knot worked tight to finish.
