GROUND-LINE

sed to attach a thin line to a thicker one, this is the standard knot used by fishermen
U trawling for cod, but it was also used to hitch horses to picket lines.

Pass the working end of the
I line from front: to back
around the foundation object or
thicker rope. Bring the working
end fotward and to the left of
its own standing part.

Take the working end up
2 and diagonally across the
front of the standing part and
foundation object.

Pass the working end down
3 behind the foundation
object so that it emerges at the
front and to the right of the
standing part.
