Pocket Guide to Knots & Splices
Stopper knots are tied at the end of a rope. They can be used to
stop a rope pulling through a hole, or to stop the ends of a rope
from fraying. They can provide a handhold, or give extra weight to
the end of a rope to help when throwing it. They can be the
simplest of knots or the most complex and decorative.
