HOW TO TIE AN OVERHAND KNOT

My name is ___________   	and this is my ________th year in 4-H.

IN THIS DEMONSTRATION I WILL SHOW 
                            HOW TO TIE AN OVERHAND KNOT

First I remove about 1 foot of a strong string from a coil or spool.
                        I will tie an OVERHAND knot in the ends of this length.

I place one end of the string in my left hand. 
I will call this end the WORKING END of the string.

Next I use my right hand to pull out about 2 INCHES
                        of string from the fingers of my left hand.

Next I make a LOOP in the string next to my left thumb.
I will call the place where the string crosses itself the  CROSSOVER-POINT.
I hold the crossover point with my left thumb and finger.

Next I move the WORKING END   UP    through the loop.

Next I slowly reduce the size of the loop until a knot is formed.
                  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE WORKING END 
                              REMAINS NEAR THE KNOT.

This knot is called the OVERHAND knot.
