The knot is made from a wall knot with a "cross" over it ( crown knot or Hahnepoot ). Then you put each of the parts on the right; first the wall knot, then the Hahnepoot, d. That is, you double it up and put it down through the knot. The ends are then cut snugly at the knot. The fall step knot can be made from three or four parts (cardeles).
First, a will wall junction plugged
Three-carded rope
One cardel, in this case the yellow one, is brought under the next counterclockwise , here the blue cardel
With the next cardel (blue) you go under the first moved cardel (yellow) and under the standing part of the next (green)
The third cardel (green) is passed under the second end (blue) and up through the bay of the first moved cardel (yellow)
Then a crown knot on top
One cardel, in this case the blue one, is brought over the next, here the green cardel
With the next cardel (green) one crosses over the first moved cardel (blue) and the next one (yellow)
The third cardel (yellow) is passed over the cardel that was moved last (green) and the end is inserted through the bay of the next cardel that was moved first (blue)
If you stopped here and did not double the teasel, cut the teasel tightly, you would have a whale or whale knot, consisting of a wall knot with a crown knot above it (Ashley no. 845).
You insert the wall knot on the right.
The blue cardel is inserted through the green eye
The next cardel (green) is inserted through the next (green) eye
The next cardel (yellow) is inserted through the next (blue) eye
Now the crown knot is inserted on the right.

put it through the next (yellow) cardeles

Then the next (blue) cardel through the next (green) cardel
