Twist the line so a loop spirals out
roughly at right angles.

Having made a dozen or so twists, twice that
number should you be counting the half twists,
pull the twisted spiral apart so that:

*One, the loop is reduced to the size where
it can be threaded through the eye of a hook.

*Two, the twists are compressed more tightly.

Allow the loop to spiral back into place again.

Isolate the spiral by crossing the line
from each side to form a loop.

Your index finger goes between loop and tag.

Twist the cross–over alternately with each hand,
inserting and withdrawing the index finger
of each hand as each half twist is made.

Having completed four complete twists
(eight half twists), pass the spiral through
at the cross–over where you were twisting
with your fingers.

Close the knot with a firm pressure.

Thread the eye of the hook
with the twisted loop.

Thread the point of the hook
through the twisted loop.

The hook is presented far enough away
from the line so it is most unlikely to tangle.
