The Alpine butterfly knot enables you to easily form a
secure loop in the middle of a rope, without having to
touch either end. The tied rope can handle significant
amounts of weight on the loop and the ends.[1] [1] Other
uses include creating transverse lines, binding anchors,
shortening rope slings and isolating damaged sections of
rope. [2] [2]
!! Steps !!
Form a bight in the middle of a rope. Twist it twice to create two
loops, one on top of the other. Make the one on top larger.
Bring the top loop down over the bottom loop, folding it at the
junction between the two loops. Now the bottom loop [3] should be
essentially inside the first loop.
Take the farthest edge of the bottom loop from the first loop and
bring that through the second (smaller) loop.
Tighten all the way.
