How to Tie a Double Fisherman's Knot

Now another way to attach two ropes together is something that?s called the double fisherman's knot. The double fisherman's knot uses two ropes and then two double overhand knots in them. So what you can see down here on my table that I have here, is that I have both ropes coming in from opposite angles. And once again, I'm going to take this and I'm going to tie this into an overhand knot. Now as I tie this, this is a single overhand knot, I'm going to go ahead and tie this one more time into my double overhand knot. Now you can see that this right here is not exactly what we're looking for. This is a double overhand knot, but these two ropes are not encasing each other. So I'm going to go ahead and undo this again. And what I will do, is I will take this rope, and I will tie single overhand, and I will loop it around one more time. And I will run my rope backwards through these knots. There you go. A nice double overhand knot. Now I'm going to go ahead, and I'm going to do the same, you can see I have it right here. And I'm going to do the same over here. I'm going to loop it around once, and go ahead and loop it around the second time and I'm going to come in, one more loop there. And then I'll come in from this side, and push it through. There you go. My double overhand knot on this side as well. And this is also referred to as a grinners knot, because of the mouth that it makes here, the imitation. And as you pull these knots together, you see this creates a nice strong tight bond.
