application
It is placed on the ends of lines (for example on the gangway handrail ) and prevents them from rushing out.
Knot
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
With the next cardel (blue) you go under the first moved cardel (yellow) and under the standing part of the next (green)
Then a crown knot on top
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).
