1. A method for creating a suture construct and securing a limb of suture therein, comprising the steps of:
providing a length of suture comprising a standing limb with a standing terminal end and a closing limb with a closing terminal end;
forming a primary loop in the closing limb such that standing limb extends from the primary loop and closing limb;
wrapping the standing limb around itself and the closing limb, forming a secondary loop in the standing limb;
passing the standing limb around the primary loop, forming a locking loop in the standing limb;
passing the standing limb through the secondary loop at least twice;
passing one or more limbs of suture through the primary loop, and
pulling the closing terminal end proximally, which pulls the primary loop through the locking loop and into the secondary loop to collapse the primary loop around the one or more limbs of suture to secure the one or more limbs of suture.
