A versatackle is a way of simulating a block and tackle without actual pulleys or deadeyes. It consists of two loops with the rope passed back and forth between them.

Make a loop knot on one end of the rope and another loop knot in the middle, just longer than the area to be bound. (An overhand loop knot is used here)

Pass the second working end through the loop knot in the first working end.
