>>941883You know how you move the working end back and forth as you weave it around the main line? Hold the knot between your fingers and make sure the entire knot rolls in that direction to. It will flip once then when you go the other direction with the working end you reverse that flip. Thus, the knot gets flipped back and forth as you tie it. This action keeps it from bunching up and becoming thick and allows both pieces of line to bite into each other.
