| How to Tie Knots |
| The Eye Splice is the strongest type of rope loop.
Like the Short Splice, it is woven "one over, one under." Strands may be
loosened for tucking by twisting the rope in the direction opposite the lay.
Begin by laying the end four or five turns. A Tuck strand 2 over strand c, under b, and then out between strands a and b. B Tuck strand 1 once over strand b and under a. C Turn rope over and tuck strand 3 under strand c and over next strand. D Tuck each strand in turn over and under for several tucks. |
