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.

Specifically, it is a U-form narrower than a bight. [17] A type of knot used to create a closed circle in a line. A loop is one of the fundamental structures used to tie knots.
The overhand knot is one of the most fundamental knots, and it forms the basis of many others, including the simple noose, overhand loop, angler's loop, reef knot, fisherman's knot, half hitch, and water knot. The overhand knot is a stopper, especially when used alone, and hence it is very secure, to the point of jamming badly. It should be ...
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 reef knot, or square knot, is an ancient and simple binding knot used to secure a rope or line around an object. It is sometimes also referred to as a Hercules knot or Heracles knot .
