To tie an icicle hitch bring the [[knot#terminology|working end]] over the post, front to back, four or five times, working away from the end of the post (and the direction of expected pull). Bring the working end, back to front, alongside the [[knot#terminology|standing end]], leaving a substantial [[Bight (knot)|bight]] hanging behind the post. Bring this bight over both ends, and over the end of the post. Tighten by pulling both ends perpendicular to the post. The pull on the standing end (running the direction of the post) will tighten the knot as more pull is given. | To tie an icicle hitch bring the [[knot#terminology|working end]] over the post, front to back, four or five times, working away from the end of the post (and the direction of expected pull).
