One-way knot
The one-way knot gets its name from the fact that the working ends face in the same direction
when the knot is finished. It is therefore useful in joining two lines where the knot must pass
through an eye, hook, or pulley, since it can travel in one direction without getting hung up.
Begin by forming a loop in the end of the line that goes to the pulley (1). Bring the working end
behind the standing part (2), and feed it through the loop you have just made (3). With the other
line, begin retracing the knot by inserting it beside the working end of the first half of the knot (4).
Then pass this line around the standing line, keeping on the same side of the rope. Finish by
feeding the working end through from bottom to top (5), leaving several inches of line past the
knot. Draw the knot up to tighten it, as shown turned over (6).
