You now have two strands of cord – the longer one is the working cord and the shorter one is the holding cord.

STEP 2:
Clip the loop under a clipboard or secure to table in some fashion.

STEP 3:
The left-hand cord is the working cord. The right-hand cord is the holding cord.

Take the left-hand cord and cross over the top of the right-hand cord forming a loop. The loop will look like the number four.

STEP 4:
Take the end of the same cord and pass under the holding cord through the loop.

STEP 5:
Pull the loop tight over the working cord and up forming a knot.

STEP 6:
Repeat.
