Take the working end around the object a second

                    time and across itself a second time, maintaining
                    the       diagonal           direction          as      shown           in     the
                    photograph.





                   This knot works extremely well for attaching cords to the
                handles of tools, or anything else of similar design, to allow

                them  to  be  hung.  It  can  be  used  to  attach  a  pencil  to  a
                clipboard.
                   The final tuck in tying the double constrictor can be made

                as a quick-release  draw loop if you want to untie the knot
                later. For the very best results, use a hard rope or cord when

                tying the knot to soft material, such as a soft line, and use a
                soft rope or cord when tying the knot to hard material, such

                a metal ring.
