Perfection Loop

The Perfection Loop (a.k.a. Angler's Loop) makes a very secure knot.

It should be used as a permanent knot. It jams when pulled tight and can be difficult to untie.

In this instructable I will show two methods of tying this knot.

Bring working end (WE) under the standing end forming a bight.

Bring WE over the standing end forming a loop.

Bring WE under the bight.

Bring WE back over the bight.

Bring the loop (step 2) over the WE and down through the bight.

Tighten.

Wrap cord three times around dowel (fingers).

Bring first turn under the other two.

Bring the next turn over, under the other two turns.

Remove knot from dowel and tighten.
