step
Pull both tails to tighten the crossover.
Now, using both hands and the weight
of your body, smooth the cover slack
from the crossover towards Mark 3 in
both directions. The tails will disappear
into the rope, and a smooth, gradual
taper should result. Lock stitching
should be done on both sides of
the crossover of the buried tails to
prevent the splice from pulling out.

step
Attach tapered tail of Rope B to fid.
Insert the fid into Rope A at Mark 2,
approximately the diameter of the line
away from insertion point of Rope A
into Rope B. Bring fid and tail out at
Mark 3 of Rope A. Following same
procedures as Step 4A bury Rope
B up to its own Mark 2. Leave tail
sticking out.
f i n i s h b u ry i n g
Working towards the crossover, stitch
twine back and forth through splice until
a minimum of 3 complete stitches have
been made on each side of crossover.
From Mark 2 at crossover, count 8
picks in either direction and insert
stitching twine.
9 A
Tie an overhand knot in each end
of the twine, as close to its exit
point as possible.
9 B
Insert tail of stitching twine at
exact location where twine
emerges. Using needle or small
fid, pull (or push) through rope at
a slight angle. Pull hard on the
end of the twine so that the knot
disappears inside the rope. Trim
off the remaining twine close to
the rope. Repeat on other end of
the twine.
