- 1). Hold your left hand out in front of you, separating the upper and lower pairs of fingers slightly with the palm facing toward you.
- 2). Loop the line around your hand three times, starting at the end of the fingers closest to the thumb. The last turn should bring the line up from the lower edge of the fingers.
- 3). Take the loose end of the line and wind it around the loops, between your fingers. Do this until you have created another three loops. The loops should still be relatively loose.
- 4). Wrap the loose end of the line around the loops you created in Step 3. Create three loops vertically around the horizontal loops. These loops should go around the second set of loops but inside the first set.
- 5). Tie a knot in the loose end of the line and tuck it into the center of the loops. Pull on the other end to tighten all the loops. The knot should tighten into a hard ball around the knotted end.
