How to tie a double coin knot

Find the bight of your rope (fold your rope in half and find the middle - this is the bight)

(the rope used for this tutorial is double ply Jute which is great for beginners and people who use their rope a lot as its a bit more forgiving than other ropes).

Bring the bight around to form a loop

 

Create another loop on top of the first one.

 

Now take the bight under neath the working end (this is the long end of the rope)

We are now going to weave the bight in and out of the loops, going over the first part, and under the second part

We are now going to go over then under the next two parts

We now just need to tighten up the knot and make sure all the ropes are laying flat.  You can move the knot along the rope by pulling rope into the knot and shifting it all along a bit if needed.

You have your completed double coin knot!
