Figure 10-14. Make a series of four-strand Crown
Knots, one on top of the other, to cover the Constric-
tored ends. Stop when you’re just short of the Ring
Hitches, and make a Wall Knot as shown.
Figure 10-13. . . . then cut off the Ring Hitch ends
and Constrictor them together between the shackle
and the end of the sinnet. Wall-Knot the remaining
four strands.
Figure 10-15A. Finally, make a Crown Knot over
the Wall Knot, as shown, to get a Wall and Crown
Button. Fair up but do not tighten this arrangement.
Double the knot by following above the original lead Figure 10-15B. . . . then tuck all four ends down
with each strand (as shown by the arrow) . . . between the knot and the braid, into adjacent spaces.
