Tip of the Week: How to Tie a Slip Knot

Knot Tying Instructions

Step 1 – Hold a length of rope out in front of you and twist to form a loop.

Step 2 – Reach through the loop, grasp the dangling right end by the middle, and pull it through the loop, being careful not to let the end come through. Keep your left hand steady, and a knot will tight around the part you are pulling through.

Step 3 – You can now hook the new loop around things (including useful things like your thumb!), and pull the main length of the rope to tighten around them.
