How to Tie Knots


Miller's Knot

  This is a close relative of the Clove Hitch and is used in tying sacks with heavy string or cord. Note that the first turn around the sack leads over the forefinger and the others pass under all fingers. In the middle drawing, the forefinger A is about to draw the cord end B under C to complete the knot. The final result is shown in the third drawing.
