TAPING THE ENDS AND UNLAYING THE ROPE

Tape the ends of each of the
8 strands individually.
Unlay the strand pairs all the way back
to the tape at Mark 1. Keep the pairs of
strands together while unbraiding.
When unlayed, the strands in a pair will
be twisted around each other. Untwist
each strand pair so the 2 strands lie
parallel to each other, rather than
twisting around each other. Tape the
ends of each pair together.

Arrange the strand pairs as shown in
Fig. A. One set of the marked (gray)

bottom. The unmarked (white) pair

Physically form the eye, making certain
there is no twist in the rope. Place
the (white) pair that is closest to the
standing part of the rope over the rope,
at Mark 2, as shown in Fig. B; being
careful not to add twist to the rope.
Beginning with the left rotating
marked (gray) pair of strands on
top, make your rst tuck under
the right rotating (white) pair of
strands closest to Mark 2. Pull
the strands completely through,
making sure that the strands
don’t twist (Fig. C).
Turn the eye over and tuck
the other marked (gray) pair of
strands under the (white) pair
of strands directly opposite the
previous tuck (Fig. D).

step
Note: If necessary, use a d or marlinspike to
loosen the strands. The left rotating (gray)
strands will be tucked under the right rotating
(white) strands, and vice versa.
