How to Tie Knots


Slipknot

  This knot is not as satisfactory as two Half Hitches because, unless strain is put on it, it may slide, especially on a vertical object like a post. Basically, it is an Overhand Knot around the standing part.
  It will be more secure if a stopper knot, like a simple Overhand or Figure Eight, is tied in the end of the rope.
