We all need to know what knot to use and where. Here are three essentials that you should know.

PERFECTION LOOP

For a right handed person start withapproximately seven inches of line extending to the right between thethumb and forefinger of your left hand. Pinch the line between you leftthumb and fore finger. Push the line back towards the left so it formsa loop with the shortest piece coming to rest against your forefinger.Pinch the loop lightly in the left hand and with your right hand closethe loop until the loop is about three quarters of an inch above thefinger. Now take the short piece loosely over your thumb to the leftand slide between forefinger and three quarter inch loop, making surethis second loop is lower than the first. At this point, pull the shortpiece down between the two loops you have just formed and pinch withthe left sides of your thumb and forefinger. Whith the thumb andforefinger of your right hand, reach through the taller loop frombehind and firmly grasp the short loop. With your left hand, grab thelong piece and pull down to complete the perfection loop.
