Knot: Midshipman's Hitch

Based on this tutorial but mostly this animated knot

1. Cross the tail over the standing end. This is "the crossing".
2. Pass the tail around the standing end and up through the bight so that it circles the rope above the crossing.
3. Pass the tail through the bight one more time. This time it should wrap above the crossing but below the previous one. Now we have an awning hitch. This can take load.
4. Put some load on the awning hitch
5. Crossing the rope in the same direction as before, tie a half hitch below the crossing.

Adjusting

This can be adjusted by holding the knot and pulling the section of the rope that was wrapped through the knot from either side.

Other notes

If tying with very slippy rope, 3 circles may be required.
