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.
Diagram of how to tie the hitching tie knot. The hitching tie is a simple knot used to tie off stuff sacks that allows quick access as it unties quickly. [1] [2] To untie the knot, just pull hard on the free end of the rope and the knot will fall open. This is simply a noose or slip knot, with the loop tightened around an object.
In fact a simple loop noose was used instead of the hangman’s noose in the U.K. and many other jurisdictions because it was just as effective at causing a neck fracture, especially when the knot is placed toward the front of the neck, and easier to remove when the hanging was over.
Water knot (also known as Tape Knot, Double Overhand Bend, Ring Bend): The Water knot is useful to tie together two ends of ropes. Often used with webbing. Binding Strangle knot: The Strangle knot is a simple binding knot. It forms both sides of a Double fisherman's knot, and is also used to back up loop knots and both ends of bends. Hitches
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 discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
