13. Sink Stopper Knot






               This stopper knot is larger than Overhand or Figure 8 Knots and will stop a

               rope through a significantly larger hole, but it’s shorter and less obtrusive
               than the Stopper Knot.



                 Uses: stopper, especially in thinner rope

                 Pros: stops holes larger than many other stopper knots

                 Cons: very difficult to untie if tightened hard



               Instructions










































               1. Make a counterclockwise overhand crossing turn. Form a bight in the standing part.
