Cross-Tie Parcel Knot
When you have two or more parallel twines on your parcel and have begun to bring down the cross-line, secure it to each twine in this way: Bring the long twine down and loop it under the first twine to form a bight as in I ([Fig. 66]).
Then carry the long twine over, itself forming a loop (J), then under the first twine as in K.
Draw tight and proceed to the second twine, making the same cross-tie.
When you have carried your cross-line entirely around the parcel, tie it securely to the first twine where it began and finish with a single-tie knot, making a knot on the last end of the twine close to the fastening, to keep the end from slipping through.
