Common Whipping description:

The common whipping is the simplest type of whipping knot. It's a knot tied at the end of a line to keep it from unraveling.

▶ Knot tying instructions:

1.Lay the the twine along the line and form a loop towards the top end of the line.

2. Wrap the twine in the opposite direction of the lay of the the line, neatly and tightly next to each other.

3. Wrap until the whipping is one to one and a half times the diameter of the line.

4.Run the working end of the twine through the bight.

5.Carefully pull on the standing end of the twine until the bight and working end are pulled half way under the whipping.

6.Tug on both ends of the line to ensure the whipping is nice and tight.

7. Cut the loose ends of the twine flush with the edges of the whipping to give the rope end a finished look.
