Double stevedore knot: a helpful knot for anglers to remember, when using gut or nylon and needing
that little extra bit of knot strength.
Take the line around the ring twice: this is what provides the additional strength. Then take back the
line along its standing part, twisting it around both itself and its standing part five times, before
passing it through the turns (figure 54) on the outside of the ring.
