for choosing a figure 8 knot over an overhand knot is
that it provides a slightly larger stopper. This can be handy
in situations where a simple overhand knot might slip
though a grommet due to its size. Tying a figure 8 knot
makes the stopper just a bit larger, which could prevent
the knot from sliding through the hole it’s threaded into.
