Jury Knot with Sheepshank

This combination is strong and use-
ful, as well as highly ornamental. You
begin by making a Jury Mast Knot
(see following chapter), which winds
up with opposite loops or bights,
along with single strands (fig. 1). Use
the single ropes to form Sheepshanks
with the proper bights (fig. 2). The
whole combination can be made in
the center of a rope without access to
the ends and the knot between the
hitches relieves strain as well as
adding strength.
