Stevedore knot







  This is a bulky stopper knot, which is used for making a rope fast through a hole only slightly

  larger than its diameter.


  Begin with a bight, then wrap the working end around the standing part in one complete turn (1).
  Then make a half turn and bring the working end back up to the top of the knot (2). Take the
  working end through the end of the bight from front to back (3). Pull on both parts to tighten (4).
