Note that for illustration purposes, the blue paracord
represents the thicker diameter line and the red para-
cord represents the thinner diameter line. Also note that
although it may not be clear in the illustration, imagine
that your hands are holding the lines at the top of the
photo, so as stated, the left hand will be holding the blue
paracord and your right hand will be holding the red
paracord.

2. Cross the two lines over each other so they form an
“x” with the thicker line from your left hand lying behind
the thinner line in your right hand as illustrated in figure
37a. You’ll probably want about five to seven inches of
the working ends overlapping each other at this point.

Figure 37a.
