               Wall knot




               The  wall  knot  is  basically  an  upside-down  crown


               knot. But while the crown leads the strands back to
               the  line’s  standing  part,  the  wall  knot  leaves  them


               pointing in the original direction. This means the line
               can be reconstituted to form a knot ‘in the bight’.




























                    1  Prepare the line as before (Step 1), or tie four lengths of thin line


                  together with a whipping and a seizing, as shown. The same principles

                                               apply for three strands.
