The eye splice is the
strongest type of rope loop. Like the short splice, it is woven
"one over, one under." Strands may be loosened for tucking by
twisting the rope in the direction opposite the lay.
A. Tuck strand 2 over strand c, under b,
and then out between strands a and b.
B. Tuck strand 1 once over strand b and
under a.
C. Turn rope over and tick strand 3 under
strand c and over next strand.
D. Tuck each strand in turn over and under
several tucks.
