figure 63.1
Figure of eight in a double end: this variation of the figure of eight knot provides a stopper knot with a
loop, and is a better knot to use than a bowline when tying a very slippery synthetic fibre.
Form the knot by making a large bight in the end of the rope, which is then used to tie the figure of
eight (see page 80); figure 63.1 shows the forming of the knot and figure 63.2 the completed knot.
