Step 2Larks foot.
The first part of the prussic is to tie a larks foot (also called a girth hitch). This is a very simple knot to tie indeed, and I'd be surprised if you haven't tied one before with or with out knowing it.
Because you are already tying this with a loop, all that you need to do is take part of the rope, and pass both strands between the loop, then pull down, and you have created a Larks foot.
As well as doing this with climbing rope, I have (as per request, always like to get feedback) re-shot some photos, with a carabiner and access cord. Whilst they are exactly the same thing, there is no point what so ever using this knot with a carabiner. It does give a better colour contrast which I think is the main issue.
