Line 15 ⟶ 16:

A '''zeppelin eye knot''', is a secure, jam resistant fixed size [[:Category:Loop knots|loop knot]] based on the [[zeppelin bend]]. It is one of the few eye knots suitable for [[bungee cord|bungee]]. It is also special in its ease of untying.

==Tying==

Virtually all bends (iei.e. end-to-end joining knots) have a corresponding 'eye knot'. For example, the Sheet bend (ABoK #1431) has a corresponding eye knot which is none other than the common (#1010) Bowline. The Zeppelin bend is formed from 2 superposed loops of opposite [[chirality]].

There are two versions of the zeppelin eye knot depending on how it is tied.

Line 26 ⟶ 27:

# and last the other eye of the clover knot in the opposite direction of the exiting working end (loop side)

* The other version where the end seems to be the continuation of the main part, and both ends of the loop seems to be vertical to the main part. This version is tied using the clover method, starting with an underhand knot, then letting the working end pass in the following order through

*# - the same eye to form a simple [[noose]] thus forming the loop

*# - around the edge of the underhand knot, and through the loop of the [[noose]]

*# - around and through the knot along with the main part ( thus passing simultaneously through all 3 of the original underhand knot, the noose and the last round of itself).
