  1. 1

    Fold the heavier line

    Make an open fold in the thicker line. The thin line approaches the fold from below.

  2. 2

    Pass through the fold

    Take the thin end through the opening, from the front to the back.

  3. 3

    Lay the end alongside

    Bring the end up along both legs of the heavier line.

  4. 4

    Wind back down

    Wrap around both heavy legs and the thin line’s returning leg. Keep the turns side by side.

  5. 5

    Complete ten wraps

    Continue toward the folded end until you have ten even wraps.

  6. 6

    Exit on the same side

    Pass through the fold again. The thin tail and its standing part both leave on the front side.

  7. 7

    Gather the wraps

    Bring the ten turns together without crossing them. The thin tag and its standing line still leave the fold on the same face.
