Thumb Knot
(Overhand Knot)
|
-
This is the simplest knot of all. It is commonly use to
temporarily "stop" the end of a fraying rope.
-
The overhand knot is commonly tied in a bight formed at
the end of a rope, forming the Overhand Loop.
-
Tip. The Thumb knot jams easily so it is far better to use a
Figure Eight
knot to stop the end of a fraying rope.
