If you’ll permit me to have the overhand
not already tied, there’s one half going
up and the other half going down.
Take the down half, make a loop like this.
Take the top half and go over the down half,
and then poke it through in my case, with
my thumb, I’m right handed so I use my right
thumb - 10% of the population is left handed,
that’s quite a few - and then you have to
dress the knot - this is true at sea, on a
sailboat or with your tie.
You pull it tight, you fold it in front to
see if it’s even and you let go in 30 seconds!
Ah, ahhhh.
