               Quatrefoil




               Literally  meaning  ‘four  leaves’,  the  quatrefoil


               stopper  is  made  up  of  four  loops,  or  ‘rims’.  It’s  the
               next  step  up  from  the  trefoil-shaped  Ashley’s


               stopper knot and fills an even larger hole. It can be
               used  not  only  to  prevent  a  line  pulling  through  a

               hole, but also as a grip to prevent the line slipping

               through your hands.



























                 1  Form an overhand loop in the standing part and a bight in the working



                           end. Pass the end through the loop and under the bight.
