Overhand loop

Most suitable for thread, twine, and string, because it is difficult to untie once tightly tied, this

quick and easy fixed loop may be used sparingly in larger cordage and rope if it is not to be
heavily loaded.

Make a bight in the end of the line (1), then simply tie it in an overhand knot (2, 3). Take care to
eliminate unnecessary and undesirable twists before tightening the knot (4), since a messy knot is

often a weak one, while a neat finish retains the inherent strength of knot and line.
