Strong and secure, the Figure Eight Loop can also be tied around an
object by making a regular Figure Eight Knot (see Chapter 1), leaving

enough running end to bring around the object and then back to trace
through the Figure Eight toward the standing part.

OVERHAND LOOP

The Overhand Loop is a very common way of tying a loop. It’s quick to
tie and is especially useful with very small cordage like thread or string.
It is difficult to untie after being under strain, so it is usually used when
it is not meant to be untied.

STEP 1 Begin by folding over the running end to make a bight.

STEP 2 Tie the bight in an Overhand Knot, forming the Overhand

Loop.
