How to Tie an Overhand Loop

Don't forget to give me a thumbs up and if you'd like to see more knot tying tutorials, subscribe to my channel.

Welcome to my channel How to Knot and in this video, I will be showing you how to tie an overhand loop. This knot is typically used for camping or just as a general purpose. This is quite a useful knot and is even great as a stopper. This is a simple knot when a fixed loop is needed, can be tied anywhere along a piece of rope so it doesn’t need a working end and can be used for attaching hardware such as clips or hooks. Unfortunately this knot is known to jam, making it difficult to untie.

First double a section of rope to form a bight.

Create a loop.

Pass the free end through the loop and tighten.
