How To Tie Popular Knots

Sheepshank

This knot is used to shorten a rope that is fastened at both ends. Take up
the slack, then make an underhand loop and slide it over the blight and pull
tight. Do the same to the other end to complete the knot. The sheepshank is
only a temporary knot as it stands. But it can be made more permanent by
adding a second half hitch to each end.
