Double crown: working from an unlaid end of rope (see crown knot page
57) or from a number of strands (we have used four in our illustration),
pass each strand around over its anticlockwise neighbour (you can also
work clockwise) with the last strand passing down through the bight of
the first strand to have been worked (figure 51.1). This can now be pulled
tight, which will have the effect of making each strand point downwards.
Now pull back any one strand and make a clockwise turn around the
strand it originally passed over, and this will return the strand to its original
position. Repeat this with the other strands, passing the last through the
now-double bight of the first (figure 51.2).
