The first thing you need to do is that you need to get a hand on the rope or thread or string that you are going to be tying up.
Now go ahead and hold the rope or whatever it is that you are going to be tying in your hands. Don’t hold them too firmly, but just tight enough to get to work. -

Take the left end of the rope over the other end and then go on and pull it through the loop that has automatically been created as a reaction to these actions.
Now the next thing you need to do, is to create another knot, in the exact same manner that you created the first knot in. Once again, after you are done, you have to wrap the end of the rope back through the loop which you have created.
Now after both those loops have been created, go on and pull on the rope till it is tight and firm. After you do this, you need to look at the rope and identify that you have two rather good looking knots on the rope. -
