Coxcombings are generally made as protective coverings or over handles or rails to
  provide a better grip. Other “whippings” to protect rope ends are shown in Appendix A.





  CROWN SENNIT


  The Crown Sennit is based on a series of Crown Knots (see Chapter 1), but with four

  strands  instead  of  three.  To  begin,  bind  four  cords  or  ropes  together,  with  tape  or  a
  Constrictor Knot (see Chapter 6) tied in string.


  STEP 1 Form the first Crown Knot, as shown.





















  STEP 2 Tighten the first knot, and make another one.






















  STEP  3 Tighten  the  second  knot  on  top  of  the  first  one  and  continue  tying  Crown

  Knots, one on top of the other.
