ENGLISHMAN'S LOOP
his loop uses two overhand knots to form a fixed loop. The drawing together of
T the two knots to form a single knot has given this knot a certain symbolic value.

I (an overhand knot with a
drawloop, see page 43).
Take the
2 working end of
the cord over and
then behind the
standing part and
behind the
working part.
Tuck the working end

second overhand knot and
tighten gently by
pulling on the
working end.
