What You’ll Need:
- Your kite flying line (with or without a pre-tied loop)
- The bridle loop or attachment point on your kite
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Make a Loop in Your Line
If your flying line doesn’t already have a loop at the end:
- Fold about 10–15 cm of the line back onto itself.
- Tie an overhand knot to create a small loop.
- Pull tight to secure.
Form the Lark’s Head
- Pinch the loop and fold it in half to create a smaller double loop (like a teardrop).
- This is now your Lark’s Head loop.
Attach to the Kite
- Slide the folded loop behind the bridle point or attachment loop on the kite.
- Pull the rest of the loop over the bridle point and tighten.
- The knot should cinch snugly around the bridle, holding it securely.
Why Use a Lark’s Head?
- Quick and easy to tie and untie
- Secure under tension but easy to release
- Ideal for single-line kites and adjustable bridles
