How to tie a Stevedore Knot
![Stevedore Knot Stevedore Knot](../img/knots_stevedoreknot_002.jpg)
Give yourself plenty of rope for a long working end. Take it over the standing part (this forms a crossing turn).
![Stevedore Knot Stevedore Knot](../img/knots_stevedoreknot_003.jpg)
Now pass the working end behind the standing part.

Now bring it back in front again.

Now take it behind the standing part one more time. Now you can bring the working end up to the front of the knot.

Pull tight by pulling on the standing part and the working end. You can tighten the knot even more by pulling the two turns.
