| How to Tie Knots |
| Begin by unlaying (untwisting) the ropes a few turns.
If the rope is large, make temporary whippings on the ends of the strands.
A. Alternate the strands of the two ropes. B. Tie strands down to prevent more unlaying. C. Tuck strand 1 over an opposing strand and under the next strand. D. Tuck of strand 2 goes over strand 5, under the second, and out between the second and third. E. Repeat operation with strands 1 and 3 from same rope end. F. Remove tie and repeat operation on other rope end. Make two or more tucks for each strand. Then roll the tucks and cut off ends. You can smooth the splice by rolling it under your foot on the floor. |
