Figure 8 Knot

Here is the Knot for yesterday’s Inktober prompt.It was fun to draw a “how to” without any words.

I’ve put the additional “close-up” photos below with directions.

Figure 1 shows how you start to tie this knot. The standing part comes down, around to the left, and under the standing part.

Figure 2 shows how it is then taken over the standing part before preparing to go under and through (from the bottom upwards) in Figure 3. Pull it all tight, and you should have what looks like Figure 4.
