Fisherman’s knot

Effectively a pair of overhand knots tied onto the

opposing standing part, the fisherman’s knot bulks
up excessively and is almost impossible to untie. On

the other hand, it is surprisingly secure (especially in
its double and triple versions, here) and very easy to

tie.

1 Take a turn with one line around the standing part of the other line, and

tie an overhand knot.
