."" Loop KNOT

One of the best ways of shortening a damaged
rope is to tie a loop knot. This simple fastening
takes up the weakened part of the line in the
center of the knot so that it is not put under
strain. The knot is often used for towing
automobiles and trucks.

Pull the eods of the
compleh?d Sheepshank
and the knot becomes
quite decorative.
