| How to Tie Knots |

| The Backsplice is a method of preventing fraying or
raveling in the end of a rope. It is more durable and permanent than whipping.
Begin by unlaying the rope and making a crown knot as shown in drawings A, B, C. The ends are then tucked with the over-and-under movement. See drawing D. Finish by trimming the ends and smoothing the splice by rolling it on the floor with your foot. |
