  • This is the simplest knot of all. It is commonly use to temporarily "stop" the end of a fraying line.
  • The overhand knot is commonly tied in a bight formed at the end of a rope, forming the Overhand Loop.
  • Tip. The Thumb knot jams easily so it is far better to use a Figure of Eight knot to stop the end of a fraying line.
