11. Slipped Figure 8 Knot


               Also known as: Figure of 8 Knot or Flemish Knot with a Drawloop




               As easy as it may be to untie a Figure 8 Knot, placing a drawloop in the
               working end to “slip” it makes it easier and quicker still.



                 Uses: stopper that can be quickly untied to pull through an opening

                 Pros: quick and easy to tie; nearly instantaneous to untie
                 Cons: will not stop a hole larger than an Overhand Knot




               Instructions


































               1. Make an overhand crossing turn, pass the working end back under the standing part, and form a bight in
               the working end.
