Thread the loop end of your double
through the eye of the snap swivel
and pass the swivel through the loop.

Fold the loop end of the double back
against the standing part of the loop.

Rotate the swivel through the central loop formed.

Do this from three to six times depending
on the thickness and pliability of the line.

Close up the Cat's Paw.
