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.
