Pretzel (knot)

Submitted by Ramba on

The Bretzel, also called Schiffer or half blow, is used to fasten a taut rope to a tree or mast. He is a tapered noose.

Instructions

Place the rope around the tree or pole.

||

Then cross the rope at the top.

||

Then pull under the rope and between the two ropes. (= 1st loop)

||

Continue to pass the rope under the taut rope.

||

Finally, pass the rope through the hole created at the top. (= 2nd loop)

||

The pretzel is now ready. So that the knot really holds, often another Bretzel is made and finished at the end with a normal knot ("Grossmüeti").
