| How to Tie Knots |
| This knot is used to shorten a rope that is fastened at both ends. Take up the slack as shown in figure 1. Make an underhand loop as shown at B in figure 2 and slide it over the B1 bight and pull tight. Do the same to the other end to complete the knot. The Sheepshank is only a temporary knot as it stands. But it can be made more permanent by adding a second Half Hitch to each end as shown in figure 3. |
