How to Tie Square Knots

Hold rope B in your left hand and
the end of rope A in your right
hand.

Wrap A once to the right around B,
just like the first step in tying a
bow in your shoelace. A is now
sticking out to the right and B is to
the left.

Cross rope A over rope B to form
an X.

Cross A over B again, forming
another X.

Pull on the free ends to tighten
the knot.

Wrap A once to the left around B.

Repeat step 2 to step 6 until 6
square knots formed.

Rope B should always connect to
the exit holes, and rope A should
sticking out. Cut rope A if it is too
long.

Once rope A have the appropriate
length, use lighter to burn the end
of the rope.
