| How to Tie Knots |
| A. Unlay each rope and about 15 turns. Place the
two rope ends together, alternsting strands of each end.
B. Using opposite pairs, unlay one end 4 and fill its place with the "partner" strand 2. Repeat operation exactly with another pair of strands 1 and 6 in opposite direction. C. Trim the longer strand 4 and tie each pair of opposing strands 2 and 4 with an overhand knot, tucking each strand twice. The tuck goes over one strand, under the second, and out between the second and third. Strands 3 and 5 are simply tied with an overhand knot. Strands 1 and 6 are halved, and opposite strands tied with an overhand before tucking. D. Roll and pound all tucks into the rope and then clip the individual strand ends. |
