This is how the Trucker's knot is formed.  There's one outfitter in Ely who claims he invented it, but I'm pretty sure that it's been around for a lot longer than that particular outfitter.  To make this knot, you just need to make a loop (in blue) and pull yet another loop thru the loop you just made.  To complete the knot, pull up on the "From Canoe" side and down on the "Pull loop through" (red part) to complete the process.  To perfect this knot, tie a cord from the top of a lamp, down to your sofa.  While watching TV, tie it repeatedly until you can do it with your eyes shut.  When you can tie it with your eyes closed AND with one hand behind your back, you will become elevated to "Knot Master" worthy of accolades and applause from across the lands of northern Minnesota..
