To select a knot, first identify the knot family that is most appropriate for your task. The purposes of the different knot families are described at the start of each chapter. Use the icons and introductory text at the beginning of each knot to identify its categories of use and its properties. Refer to pages 22-25 for knot-trying techniques common to many of the knots, and consult the Glossary on page 171 for explanations of terms italicized in the text.
