Learn this easy knot - Carrick Bend

A quick tutorial on how to tie a single or doubled carrick bend, a knot used for joining two pieces of rope together.

From the Ashley Book of Knots:
The carrick bend, also called full carrick bend, sailor's knot, and anchor bend, is perhaps the nearest thing we have to a perfect bend. It is symmetrical, it is easy to tie, it does not slip easily in wet material, it is among the strongest of knots, it cannot jam and is readily untied. To offset this array of excellencies is the sole objection that it is somewhat bulky.
