STEP 1 Start a Slipped Figure Eight Knot in the bight by making an extra twist to a
crossing turn.

STEP 2 Finish the Slipped Figure Eight Knot by pulling a bight of the running end
through it.

STEP 3 Treat the resulting loop as if it were a pulley by passing the running end

around the anchor point and then back through the loop.

STEP 4 Bring the running end back up through the loop and pull it toward the anchor

point to tighten the standing part.

STEP 5 Secure the knot with two Half Hitches (see previous).
