Hold one end of the string in your left hand, and one end in your right hand

Make a small loop with the end of the string in your left hand. These instructions assume you start with an "underhand" loop, so that the free end of the string is under the intersection formed by the loop

Put the end of the string in your right hand through the loop made by your left hand. The end should be coming towards you as it goes through the loop

Bring the end around (behind) the string that is facing up from the loop

Put that same string back through the loop. This time the end is going away from you

Take the top loose string in your left hand and all the rest of the string and pull in opposite directions to tighten the hitch

"Lay the bight to make a hole
Then under the back and around the pole
Over the top and thru the eye
Cinch it tight and let it lie"

Do not use this knot for heavy loads or climbing
