Thumb Knot
(Overhand Knot, Single Granny Knot)
This is the simplist 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 Thumbknot jams easily so it is far better to use a Figure of Eight knot to stop the end of a fraying rope.
