                                      Double Lark's Head

                                        With a short rope, twist two loops
                                      together near the center, to form a
                                      Lark's Head, but instead of putting it
                                      over a post, slip it onto your left hand
                                      and hold it there.
                                        Take the ends of the rope in the
                                      right hand, push them over the bar
                                      and bring them down through the
                                      double loop that girds the left hand
                                      (fig. 1). Draw the left hand from the
                                      ropes and pull the ends tight.
                                        The result is one Lark's Head pass-
                                      ing through another at right angles,
                                      forming a strong hitch termed a
                                      "Double Lark's Head (fig. 2).
