How to Tie a Fisherman's Knot

This article is for anyone who needs to learn a quick and easy way to tie a fisherman’s knot.

Steps

1. Grab hold of both ends of the rope. The end in your left hand is end 2, and the end in your right hand is end 1.
   
   
   
   


2. Cross end 2 in front of end 1, so that it is behind the loop and pointing downwards.
   
   
   
   


3. Pull end 2 through the loop and up to the left, this will create a smaller loop on top of the larger loop underneath.
   
   
   
   


4. Using your right hand, pull end 2, though the smaller loop from back to front.
   
   
   
   


5. Tighten the loop you made by pulling end 2 with your right hand and the end next to the bigger loop with your left hand.
   
   
   
   
   • This will create a knot on top of your larger loop and end 1 should be able to move back and forth enabling you to adjust the loop the the appropriate size.
     
   
   


6. Pull end 1 through the large loop from behind, pull it upwards and create a small loop on top of the larger loop
   
   
   
   


7. Pull end 1 through the smaller loop from behind, then pull the loop to tighten it using your left hand.
   
   
   
   


8. Tighten the knot made by pulling the larger loop from either side.
