               Take the middle unlaid strand and tuck it under one strand of the
               standing part, against the lay, at a point that provides you with a bight of
               the size you require. Next take the strand lying on the inside, and tuck it
               under the next strand of the standing part (figure 119.1) at the same

               point along the rope. The third strand needs to be turned back towards
               itself so that it can also be tucked against the lay, in the same position as
               the first.


               Next form a wall knot (see page 187) around the standing part (figure
               119.2) by passing each strand in turn around and under its neighbour,
               working with the lay. The end of the final strand is passed upwards
               through the bight formed by the first.
