Overhand Knot with Draw Loop

A VARIATION OF THE OVERHAND KNOT THAT IS

SLIGHTLY LARGER AND MUCH EASIER TO UNTIE

When a basic overhand knot is tightened over a loop, the
loop may be drawn out with relative ease by holding the

knot and pulling on the working end. This makes the
overhand knot with draw loop a better choice than the basic

overhand when the knot will be untied soon or often.
