TYING LOOPS
Slip Noose
A simple and quick-to-tie noose, the Slip Noose also serves as the start
of the Oysterman’s Stopper Knot.
1 After making a crossing turn, pull a bight from the standing end
through it to make a noose of the desired size.
2 Tighten the noose.
A variation on this knot is the Slipped Noose (see Chapter 4), which
occurs when the running end is tucked back along itself, such that it is
now a bight leading from the knot instead of just the running end.
