How to Tie a Blood Loop Dropper Knot

Now I am going to show you the Blood loop dropper knot. Blood loop is a well blood whenever it's referred to knot it's usually a variation of a barrel really and it's a they create nice tight knots they usually don't slip out usually keep the initial integrity and strength of the rope. Usually anywhere from ninety five to one hundred percent. So what I am going to do, is I am going to show you this one. Now this is usually an A loose knot that they use but we are going to do this in a lot thicker cord and it's going to come out it's not going to be quite as nice as it would be if it was in regular model filament but you know we're just going to do it this way. So what we're going to do is we're going to take our knot here and I've just made a simple loop now what I am going to do is I am going to loop over, creating basically just an over hand knot. I'm going to loop it again. If I was to pull this too this will be a double over hand knot. I'm going to loop it a third time. Now this would be a triple over hand knot but what the difference is I'm going to take the center of my loop here and I'm going to bring it down in the middle of my knuckles here you see I have two here and two here. I will bring it down to the center knuckle that I have and pull it tight and then it's going to create what gives the blood knot it's name the barrel shaped as you pull it to and you have to work with it a little bit to make sure it becomes nice because we don't want all of our knots to look very nice.
