Step 3: Pass end through loop
Bring the end back up and pass it through the eye of the loop you’ve just formed.
Step 4: Pull tight
Pull it tight to complete a Half Hitch.
Step 5: Pass end through standing part

Step 6: Bring through 2nd loop & tighten
Bring it back up and through this second loop you’ve just formed (making a second Half Hitch) and tighten.
