Butterfly loop

The butterfly knot (also Alpine butterfly knot, Eng. Alpine Butterfly ) generates a fixed loop in the middle of a rope. The ends of the rope are not used for tying.

Tie

The rope on the left hand with the palm They bent upwards and wrapped one end of the rope twice around the palm. From above, now you see three ropes across the palm run. The one which is closest to the wrist, it is now inserted over the middle rope. Now one uses the former medium, now left rope, puts it over the other two ropes in the direction of finger and runs it on the hand surface under the other two ropes back towards the wrist. This cable can now be stated as a loop while the remainder is stripped from the hand. Finally, still beautiful tighten the ends outward and you've got his ' butterfly '. ( Right wing, left wing - and the actual loop are the antennas. )

To Make you take a loop ( bay ), leaving the ends of the right and left hanging. Grasp the left side with your left hand and twist the loop around 180 degrees. Then you put the left thumb over the crossover in the loop that has just formed. Then you turn the loop with the same sense of rotation again by 180 °. Now it works the upper part of the loop so forward and downward, that the two crossover points are not moved. ( The straight folded down part after forming the fixed loop, so choose big enough! ) Now the right hand is between the crossover points (because where the left thumb ) inserted through the entire node (including through the loop hanging down ). With the right hand, the dangling loop is grasped at the entrance and ropes ( hold loop at all times) the hand through the center hole again pulled out. Finally, still beautiful tighten the ends outward and you've got his ' butterfly '.

Theory

The node consists of two interlocking overhand knot, through the middle of the loop goes, or otherwise seen it two Slipsteks that share the loop.

Use

Even after loading the node again easily solved ( by folding the ' wings '). Because of the reliability of this node it is often used by climbers. As a end loop climbers usually use the figure-eight knot.

By stringing together of several butterfly knot can also make a rope ladder replacement with these as a " riser loops ". Similarly, the number 428 in the node 's Guide by Ashley.
