Tom Fool’s knot
Although known as a handcuff knot, and used
by firefighters as a rescue chair, the Tom Fool’s knot
was probably originally intended to hobble animals
when they were left to graze in the wild. Use it to tie
a pair of oars together, or to lash them to the rails.
1 Form a pair of underhand loops and place them side by side as shown.
