  1. 1

    Start below the ring

    Leave a working end long enough to go around the attachment and make two hitches.

    Go through the ring

    Thread the working end through the ring and bring it back beside the standing part.

  3. 3

    Make the first hitch

    Take the end around the standing part on the inside of the attachment loop.

  4. 4

    Cross over the first turn

    Cross the end diagonally downward over the first turn.

  5. 5

    Wrap a second time

    Go around the standing part again, placing the second turn farther from the ring.

  6. 6

    Tuck beneath the crossing

    Pass the tail under the diagonal strand that crosses the front.

  7. 7

    Leave a tail

    Bring the tail out without pulling it all the way through.

    Check the finish

    Two half hitches face the same way and sit outside the main loop. Pull the standing part to snug the attachment.
