Double Line Swivel Knot: This knot is used to attach a double line to a swivel.
- Slide the end of the double line through the center of the swivel.
- Rotate the end half a turn, putting a single twist between the end of the loop and the swivel eye.
- Put the loop with the twist on top of the swivel. Hold the end of the loop with the double and allow the swivel to slide to the end of the double loops that have been created.
- Hold the loop and the lines with your right hand. Use your left hand to rotate the swivel through both loops at least 6 times.
- Keep a firm pressure on both parts of the double line. Let the loop go freely. Pull on the swivel and loops of the line will form.
- Attach the swivel with a short length of line to the rigging, push the loop down towards the center while keeping pressure on the double line.
