Overhand Knot on Right Rope End

Short Splice
|
The
short splice is most often used to join two sections of rope of the same
size. |
| While
not often used the long splice is smooth. Unlay six times the
circumference of the rope. Marry the strands as in the short splice and
hold them together. Unlay 1A and fill its place with 2A until only
enough remains for the final hitch. Trim 1A to same length and hitch the
two with an overhand, right to left. Repeat with 2A and 2B. 1C and 2C
are tied in the middle with the same hitch. |

End Splice
|
The
end or back splice is an alternative to whipping. Begin with a crown
knot and tuck the ends along the standing part as in a short splice. |
| Also
called the side splice when used to splice one rope to another. It is
woven “one over, one under” by twisting the rope to loosen strands. |
