Learn The Figure
Of Eight Knot, Flemish Knot, Savoy Knot
A useful "Stop" knot to
temporarily bulk out the end of a rope or cord, the finished knot
looks like its name. It is superior to using a Thumb Knot, because
it does not jam so easily.
Tip: The Figure of Eight is useful to temporarily stop the ends of a
rope fraying, before it is whipped.
