15. Heaving Line Knot

Also known as: Franciscan Knot

With numerous round turns, the Heaving Line Knot is reminiscent of the
Stopper Knot. Both can add weight to the end of a rope so that it can be
thrown, but the methods of tying are different, and the Heaving Line Knot
can be made much larger by adding round turns. It can be made wider as
well, by adding two or four additional, slightly shorter bights before
beginning the round turns.

Uses: heaving line
Pros: adjustable for length and thickness; works with any weight cordage

Cons: time-consuming
