"The next we're going to tie is the Albright knot. This knot is used for tying together like fishing lines and what not of a different diameter. To start you take the larger line and create a loop, and then you take the smaller line and run it through this way, away from this end of the loop. And you simply take it up and begin wrapping it around. You'll want to do this several times, like eight or nine. But since this rope is bigger than what you'd actually use, it's not for, I'm just going to do it a few times so you get the idea. I'm just wrapping it around the whole thing. Keep this rope on this side. To finish it off, you go to the top, you notice how these are coming over this way similar to the way that the square know would. And you just pull it down, and tighten it up. And that's the Albright knot."
