Narration ----(For boatswain's whistle knot knot-

of a strand of rope so that the loop of the bight

is to the back of the hand and the two leads are

between the fingers and hanging down across

the palm. (2) Use the bottom lead, to lay an

underhand loop over the standing end of top

lead. (3) Form a bight in the bottom lead so

that its running end is under the running end of

the top lead. (4) Weave the running end of the

bottom lead over the right edge of the top un-

derhand loop, then under the standing end of

the bottom lead, and over the left edge of the

top underhand hand loop. This forms two in-

terlocking underhand loops. (5) Form the next

bight by placing the running end of the top lead

under the top edge of the top underhand loop.

(6) Reeve the running end of the top lead to

the outside of the standing end of the bottom

lead and up through the middle of the inter-

locking underhand knots. (7) Form the next

bight by placing the running end of the bottom

lead under the bottom edge of the bottom un-

derhand loop. (8) Reeve the running end of

bottom lead to the outside of the standing end

of the bottom lead and up through the middle

of the interlocking underhand knots. (9) Work

the knot tight.

Doubling:

Doubling the Boatswain's Whistle Knot

increases its size. The increase in size makes it

more effective as a toggle or button. Doubling

also gives a variation in appearance when do-

ing decorative work.
