figure 60.2

Eye splice (in the middle of a rope): this is formed in a similar way to the eye splice at the end of a
rope, except that in this instance the rope is deliberately forced against its lay by twisting it in
opposite directions (figure 61.1). Make a bight to the size of the required eye in the standing part, and

use the three untwisted laid bights to tuck into the standing part to make a normal eye splice (see page
76). The first tuck is shown in figure 61.2.
