Things You'll Need:
- Fishing line, rope or other string
-
Step 1
Take one piece of string and hold it in your left hand. Form a loop at the end. Pick up the other string with the right hand. Feed it up through the loop. Next, begin to wrap it around the loop.
-
Step 2
Wrap the string around the loop about 5 or 6 times. Work toward the left and take care not to keep wrapping past the tail of the loop.
-
Step 3
Now, work in the opposite direction. Work toward the right and go back over the first wraps. Make the same amount of wraps as you did the first time.
-
Step 4
Feed the end of the wrapping string down through the loop when you are done wrapping. The string should lie right next to its other end.
-
Step 5
Pull gently on all four strands of string. This will tighten up the knot a bit. Do not pull it taut yet. Just tug lightly.
-
Step 6
Next, drop the shorter of the two pieces on each end. Pull the longer pieces tight to finish the knot.
-
Step 7
Trim the shorter ends if you wish.
