Figure 4-7. Ashley’s Button Knot #880. Constrictor the rope about a foot from its end, unlay the strands, and
“Wall” them counterclockwise by passing each strand under its neighbor to the right. A Wall is an upside-down
Crown (A). Fair the Wall and make a Crown Knot on top of it, also counterclockwise. Fair the Crown, then pass
each end under the bight to its right, ahead of the end to its right (B). Open the middle of the knot up a bit so
you can see the three strands where they exit the Constrictor. Drop each end in turn into the second space to
its right. Draw up slowly and carefully, working out a little slack at a time (C). Trim the ends off flush with the
bottom to get the finished knot (D).
