As its name suggests, this knot is simply half a bloodknot. It is used to attach line items such as hooks and swivels, and is reliable and easy to tie. The knot shown here has been tucked, meaning that the free end is passed through the loop which is formed between its coils and the hook or swivel. |

| Step
1: pass the end of the line through the eye of the hook or swivel, or
through the loop of the line to which it is to be joined
Step 2: Twist the end round the standing part four or five times.
Step 3: Pass the free end through the loop by the eye (if tightened, this is the normal half bloodknot).
Step 4: Pass the free end through the larger loop now formed to produce the tucked half bloodknot.
Step 5: Draw the knot together by moistening and pulling on the standing part.
