Having fun drawing knots again. This time I drew the steps to put a loop in the end of a rope. I remember when I learned to do this as a kid. I felt like a real sailor. After all, I could tie a bowline.
Inktober prompt: loop.
The first step is to make an loop in the end of a rope by bringing the end over the rope. Do you see how the drawing shows the rope coming down (the standing part), and then looping over itself, before continuing on around?
The way I was taught was with a little “jingle”: the rabbit comes out of the hole, around the tree and then back down the hole. This is what the two drawings show. The first is the rabbit about to go through the hole. The second drawing shows the rabbit having exited the hole, but not yet having gone around the tree, or back down the hole (see drawing number 3 below). I should note that when the “rabbit” goes back down the hole, the line is going over the two crossed lines that make the loop/hole. Do you see how the red arrow guides you though?
The last step is to pull it taunt (follow the red arrows). Usually ,this means having to pull on both the standing side, and the side you’ve been threading.
And there you have it, the completed knot. Congratulations.
