As you continue reading through this book, you will see
that tying an overhand knot is often a step used in tying
more complex knots.
Pros: This knot is extremely easy to tie.
Cons: Depending on the type of rope this knot is tied in, if it
is put under a heavy load, it can be very difficult to untie. This
is often the case when it is tied in very thin cordage.
How to tie it:
1. Form an overhand loop as illustrated in figure 12a.
