Overlap the lines to be joined and encircle
one line with the tag of the other.

Wrap the double strand inside the loop formed.

Four wraps are usually made.

Close the knot, but not too tightly,
then do the same with the other lenght of line.

Two knots are formed, one in each line,
around the other.

Slide the knots together, tighten each in turn,
and trim the tags.
