wrap bottom line round peg first before sticking in ground

This is the method I use for hazel pegs.

 

On the bottom line you wrap the line around the peg once.

 

 

On the top line you make a clove hitch.

 

 

You make the clove hitch like in the next three very poor photos.

Make your first loop and make sure that the line that is in your hand is on the under side of the loop

 

 

Next while still keeping tension on the loop create another loop in you hand, then pass it over the top of the peg.

 

 

You now have a clove hitch around the peg and that will not slip down the peg.

 

 

Don't put too much tension on the foot line but as much tension as you can on the head line.

 

Hope that helps.
