STEP 2 Trace the running end behind and around the standing part, and back through

the knot.

STEP 3 Tighten down the knot by pulling on all leads.

first step.

DOUBLE UNI-KNOT

Whereas the Fisherman’s Knot and Double Fisherman’s Knot make a bend by tying an
Overhand Knot around each other’s standing part, this excellent bend, called the Double
Uni-Knot or the Double Grinner Knot, uses four or more Overhand Knots. The Double
Uni-Knot is great for joining fishing lines.

STEP 1 Overlap the ends of two ropes and use one end to tie a multiple Overhand

Knot around the standing part of the other line.
