Farmer’s loop

This is a knot with an agricultural pedigree—at home on the farm, but handy whenever a fixed

loop is needed that must be tied in the bight.

With the working part of the rope, go twice around a wrist or arm, to create two full round turns
(1). Now lift up the center wrapping turn and replace it on the right (2). Next, leapfrog the newly
created center turn to the left (3), then shift the resulting center knot partway to the right (4).

Finally, pull up what has now become the center turn into the required loop (5), remove the knot
from the wrist or arm, and tighten the knot (6).
