- 1
Start with the line
Leave enough tag to make two loops.
- 2
Make the first loop
Turn the end behind the standing line to form the first opening.
- 3
Make the second loop
Form a second loop in front of the first. This larger loop will become the finished eye.
- 4
Lay the tag between
Put the tag across the gap between the two loops.
- 5
Bring the second loop forward
Keep the second loop open and prepare to pass its closed fold through the first.
- 6
Line up the fold
Bring the folded loop in front of the first opening.
- 7
Pass through the first loop
Push the entire closed fold through the first loop, keeping the tag between the two.
- 8
Draw out the fixed loop
Pull the loop away from the standing line. The tag remains across the base. Dress the knot before use.
- 9
Snug the base of the eye
Draw the first loop around the second. The tag stays trapped across the base and the fixed eye remains open.
