Make the first wrap
Carry the closed upper fold around the host rope.
- 3
Add the second wrap
Continue in the same direction, keeping the doubled turns parallel.
- 4
Add the third wrap
Lay another turn above the earlier turns.

Complete four wraps
Keep the long lower bight free. All four doubled wraps have the same direction.

Open the upper bight
Leave a small opening above the coil band.
- 7
Lift the lower loop
Bring the long lower loop up in front of the small upper opening.
- 8
Align the closed fold
Keep the lower loop closed and line it up with the upper opening.

Pass through the upper bight
Push the lower loop through the upper bight.

Pull the loading loop down
Draw the long loop down through the upper bight. This hitch is directional; actual use requires the right cord and instruction.

Snug the return around the wraps
Draw the return loop against the coil band. Keep the loading bight closed and through the upper opening.
