You must have cheated and already knew how! :-)

Easy, when ever you want to stop chaining, and want it to "hold"(not 
unravel), just pull the the "free" rope end all the way through.

This is the way to lock the end of the rope, after chaining the whole 
length. Just put the last piece (the tip) through the last loop and pull 
the end. Now it can't unravel, and all you have to do to use it is pull 
the end back out of the loop and pull.

To get it to unravel again, pull the free end back out.
