To tie, begin by forming a bight behind the pole.
Three bights create a triangular shape, while four create a square.
The pier, about 150 yards long, has a small bight on the southwestern side.
Bring this bight over both ends, and over the end of the post.
An open loop is a curve in a rope narrower than a bight but with separated ends.
It has a bright buttery golden colour on its flanks with bight crimson and vermillion spots.
The ends near the bight become the standing ends.
The number of bights is the number of crossings it makes as it goes around the circumference of the cylinder.
