The classic hangman's knot was largely developed in the United States. Filmed hangings of war criminals in Europe after World War II, conducted under US jurisdiction, show such knots placed in various locations. Steps for tying a hangman's knot. Each additional coil adds friction to the knot, which makes the noose harder to pull closed or open.
A noose is a loop at the end of a rope in which the knot tightens under load and can be loosened without untying the knot. The knot can be used to secure a rope to a post, pole, or animal but only where the end is in a position that the loop can be passed over.
Basically a "hangman's knot" is the same as fishing's uni knot. I was going to give directions on tying it on the uni knot page, but wondered if maybe I should remove the other uses section that I put in with the link to the uni knot page for all the reasons listed above.

The running bowline is a knot consisting of a bowline looped around its own standing end to create a noose. The running bowline is strong and secure. It slides easily and can be undone just as simply. 1117. The RUNNING BOWLINE KNOT is referred to by name, in A Four Years' Voyage by G. Roberts (1726), as the "RUNNING BOWLING KNOT."
- the same eye to form a simple noose thus forming the loop - around the edge of the underhand knot, and through the loop of the noose - around and through the knot along with the main part ( thus passing simultaneously through all 3 of the original underhand knot, the noose and the last round of itself).
The uni knot is widely used for attaching hooks, rings and swivels to the end of the line [7] and it is also used for joining two fishing lines together. [8] The bend form of the uni knot (for joining two lines) is not a noose; rather it is akin to a multiple fisherman's knot with the two opposing knotted parts arranged in the manner of uni knots.
