could lead to the knot becoming jammed.

Form a bight in the larger of the two ropes, and pass the other line up

into this bight, before taking a turn around the neck of the bight. At this
point when forming the basic sheet bend, the end is then tucked under
itself to complete the knot; however, to form this variation the working
end is taken under itself, followed by a turn around its own standing part,
before being woven back through its own bight.

Overhand knot see thumb knot.

Overhand knot plait see thumb knot plait.

Overhand loop: a bight formed by holding the standing part of the rope
in your left hand and, with the working end in your right hand, turning it
to cross over the standing end, forming a full 360 degree turn. An
underhand loop would be similarly formed, but by crossing the working

end under the standing part.
