Two-Handed Surgical Knot: 4

Swing the tips of the fingers cleanly through the loop from right to left. In order to learn proper technique, keep the plane of the loop oriented toward and away from you and pass the fingers perpendicular to the loop when practicing even though the resulting hand positions seem a little awkward. Once the proper pattern is established, you will learn to skew the the direction you pass your fingers. Pass the thumb through the loop all the way to the MP joint.

Two-Handed Surgical Knot: 6

Pass the working strand cleanly through the loop from left to right so that the crossing point of the strands is over the MP joint of the left index finger and the fingertips with the working end protrude a good distance to the right. This allows easy regrasping of the working strand by the right hand.
