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.
