26. Double Overhand Loop

Also known as: Overhand Loop, Loop Knot, Double Overhand Knot on a

Bight

As easy to tie as a Double Overhand Knot, to which it is very closely related,
the Double Overhand Loop shares the liability of most overhand knots in
being difficult to untie. It is one of the easiest ways to form a loop on a
bight, and fairly attractive withal.

Uses: lifting, hauling, and hanging gear from doubled line
Pros: easy to tie; works well in small stuff

Cons: difficult to untie; only appropriate on a bight

Instructions

1. Make an Overhand Knot with a bight.
