Double Uni-Knot

The Double Uni-Knot also known as the Double Grinner Knot, uses the tying principle of two knots tied back to back and then seated together to form a strong connection. With practice, it is easy to tie and very effective.

To Tie a Double Uni_Knot:

Hold the ends of two lines to be joined together and, with one line, form a long, thin loop.
Depending on the size and type of line, make five to seven turns around both lines, bringing the tag end out the end of the loop.
Pull on the standing part and the tag end of the first line to draw the knot together. Do not draw the knot completely tight at this stage.
With the second line, create a knot identical to the one you created with the first line, except the other way around.
Tighten the second knot to the same degree as the first knot. Slowly pull on both standing parts to bring the knots together.
Continue to pull on both standing parts until the two knots seat together, and the complete knot is drawn tight. Trim the tag ends.
