               Double Simple Simon




               Sometimes  adding  an  extra  turn  to  a  knot  can


               do  more  harm  than  good.  But  in  the  case  of  the
               Simple Simon, the extra turn definitely improves the


               knot’s  security.  For  a  more  permanent  knot,  tie  a
               seizing (eg a constrictor knot,) around both parts of

               the bight.


























                   1  Put a bight in the thick line and pass the thin line through the bight


                                               under the standing part.
