Zigzag lashing

There’s some debate about whether this is even a

knot – perhaps it’s more of a technique than a knot.
Either way, the zigzag is an excellent way to apply

extra force when tightening a lashing as well as
many other situations.

1 Start the lashing in the usual way with a running bowline.
