Tying a Square Knot

  1. Start with two pieces of rope that are close in diameter. We'll call them rope A and rope B for ease in describing this process.

  2. Hold the end of rope A in your left hand and the end of rope B in your right hand.


  3. Cross rope A over rope B to form an X.

     

  4. Wrap A once to the right around B, just like the first step in tying a bow in your shoelace. A is now sticking out to the right and B is to the left.

     

  5. Cross A over B again, forming another X.

     

     

  6. Wrap A once to the left around B.

     

     

  7. Pull on the free ends to tighten the knot.
