The Sailor's Eye
Splice
(135kb could take a few seconds to down load)
To Make an Eye Splice: form the eye and spread the
strands away from you fanwise, placing them against the rope
where it is to be entered. Untwist the rope one turn, open the
top or center bight with a small fid, and stick the center
strand under the next bight to the left in the same direction
and lastly stick the right strand, from right to left, under the
remaining bight. After this, tuck all stands once more, over one
and under one. Trim the ends at a length equal to one diameter
of rope.
