Pull on one
5 working end and its
adjacent standing part,
then pull on the other
working end and its
adjacent standing part.

knot twist slightly so that it
overlays the completed knot
from corner to corner.
You can make the surgeon's
knot even more secure by
adding a second tuck in the
upper half-knot at the end of
step 4.
