This is simply a wall (Knot 42) w ith a crown (Knot 43) formed on
the top, Fig 1, making the wall and crown previously referred to. 44
It will be found that the tails emerging downwards from the
crown, lay neatl y alongside the strands of the wall below and Man Rope
these strands are followed around with the working tails, Fig 2.
Now the tails emerging upwards from the doubled wall re-a lign Knot
with the strands of the original crown and these are also followed
around completing the man-rope knot as Fig 3.
As may be expected with any crown the tails emerge in a down-
wards direction and they have been left long in Fig 3 to illustrate
this point. In practice they would. of course, be cut off close 10
the knot.
