The double harness bend is an unfinished Fisherman's knot (or even a Double fisherman's knot): the end needs to go through its own half hitch (twice) to form a (double) overhand knot. The double harness bend is an unfinished Blood knot: The half hitches need to take one or several turns around both ropes before going through the eye in the middle.
The overhand loop is a simple knot which forms a fixed loop in a rope. Made by tying an overhand knot in the bight , it can be tied anywhere along a rope (does not need any working end ). The knot can be used for attaching clips, hooks, other rope, etc., but has the disadvantage that it is likely to jam tight when the rope has been pulled and ...
A slipped half hitch [1] [2] is a knot in which the weight of the load the rope carries depresses the loop sufficiently to keep it in place until the load item is placed in its location. When no longer required the free end may be pulled and draw the loop through and so release the load.

Bowline – forms a fixed loop at the end of a rope; Boling knot (archaic term for the Bowline) – forms a fixed loop at the end of a rope; Bowline bend Bowline on a bight – makes a pair of fixed-size loops in the middle of a rope; Bumper knot – secures soft or loose bait in fishing; Bunny ears (double figure-eight loop)
Below is a basic method of tying. The knot can also be made by using the rod itself to form the loop, but the tying method does not affect the performance of the resulting hitch. Begin with an overhand loop, that is, a loop in which the working part passes over the standing part:
The simple Simon over bend is a knot belonging to the category bend.The simple Simon under holds well even with slippery synthetic ropes, [1] but is less secure than the similar simple Simon under.
