Ashley’s stopper







  Clifford W. Ashley, author of the enormous compilation of knots and ropework, The Ashley

  Book of Knots, invented this stopper, which he said gave more bulk with less rope than other
  stopper knots. It can be used to stop a rope from going through a hole or eye up to twice the
  rope’s diameter.


  Start with a loop, with the working end emerging from the back of the loop. Pull a bight from the

  standing part through the loop from back to front (1). Feed the remaining working end through
  the bight (2). Pull on standing end (3) to tighten the knot (4).
