One-Way Knot

This knot ties two ropes together in such a way that they will pass through a pulley in one direction.

Start with a figure-8 in one end of one rope

The finished knot.
This knot will only pass through a pulley in one direction because of the short tails which come out of the same side.  FYI you will still need a knot passing pulley to make this work, and this knot is not as strong as a barrell knot
