Things You'll Need:
- Length of rope about three to four feet long, depending on the circumference of whatever you are tying a loop around.
-
Step 1
Start by making a small loop in the line that you will be working with. Drape the remaining rope over the back (or around the side) of the object you are tying up.
-
Step 2
Bring the working end of the rope under the beam and back up through the loop you just created.
-
Step 3
Take the working end of the rope around the other side of the rope, back through the small loop, and doubled back on itself. You will have created a small loop 'trapping' the main line through the first small loop that you created in step 1.
-
Step 4
Pull on the main line of the rope, and gently straighten the working end as you pull them apart. The knot should tighten on itself to create a nice hold without slipping.
