swivel Knot with illustrations(pictures)

this is one of the most important knots you'll ever need to know!
First make a loop.Left over right is what I usually do.

pull down the loop so that the top of the loop touches the right side of the line.





using the top and middle section,twirl at least 3 times around each other
this is the result after 3 rounds.
so if you lay it down,it looks like this!simple right?but the complex part of this rig is about to begin.

 take the bottom section of the line and trace it inbetween the hole formed by the twirled line.
 remember to keep the top loop up with a finger or you can alternatively use your mouth to hold it.
slowly pull the sides apart.it should look something like this. IF the loop starts to shrink,it's definitely the wrong technique of pulling it and you may need to restart if its ruined.
the completed knot should look like this and nothing else!

Cheers and peace out!
