to the standing part. The fact that this knot will usually con-
strict around the object it is tied to makes it a good choice
for applications when you don’t want the knot to move from
the original position in which it was tied. This is, of course,
only if there is adequate friction between the rope and the
object the knot is tied around.
Cons: Ironically, the fact that this knot does constrict around
the object it is tied to can sometimes actually be a dis-
advantage. It’s important to remember that this knot can
slide on the standing part, and for it to function properly
it should be slid all the way
towards the object that it’s
tied to. If you don’t want the
loop that this knot creates to
constrict around an object,
consider using a knot such as
the bowline or even the figure
8 follow-through knot.

How to tie it:
1. With the working end in
your hand, pass it around
an object such as a tree
or pole thereby forming a
single turn as illustrated in
figure 26a.
