Frost Knot

First place one end of webbing within a bend in the other end.  NB: the diferent colors here are to illustrate technique, this knot is most often tied with one length of webbing.

Tie an overhand (see FTM knots) with the folded ends.

This will result in a loop with the short free end inside it.


The frost knot is used to tie an etrier (ay-tree-ay). A completed etrier is pictured below.
