Tie: Lark's Head Double Column Cuffs

Based on this tutorial
  1. Form a lark's head and place it around both columns with the lark's head in the middle of the two columns.
  2. Add 2 more wraps going up the columns so that there are 6 strands of rope around the columns. You now have 6 strands that go above and below the columns.
  3. Pass the tail of the rope downwards through the bight formed by the lark's head 
  4. Pass the tail of the rope under the lower strands of rope (going upwards relative to the columns)  then wrap it back over the top strands (going downwards).
  5. Pass the tail of the rope downwards through the lark's head bight. This captures the entire upper and lower set of strands.
  6. Adjust the tension to bring the columns together as much as desired.
  7. Holding the knot under tension (if possible), open a bight downwards and on the opposite side from the lark's head then pass the tail over the top of the strands.
  8. Pass the tail back under the upper strands to wrap them and pull them through the bight to form a half-hitch.
  9. Readjust the tightness if needed.
