Uses:
This knot (bend) is used to
tie a small pliable rope to a large stiff rope or to a slippery
rope.
Instructions:1) Form an "open"
bight with the large rope. 2) Tie the small rope
around the bight. To prevent the bight in the large rope from
slipping, two or more turns are made around the bight in the large
rope. 3) Tuck the
running end of the
small rope under the
standing part. 4) Pull the knot (bend) tight.
Notes: When the larger rope is stiff, make
extra turns with the smaller rope to hold the bight in place.
