The butterfly loop, also known as lineman's loop, butterfly knot, alpine butterfly knot and lineman's rider, is a knot used to form a fixed loop in the middle of a rope.Tied in the bight, it can be made in a rope without access to either of the ends; this is a distinct advantage when working with long climbing ropes.
Alpine butterfly (also known as a butterfly loop) – a static loop mostly used by mountain climbers and rappellers for securing a carabiner to static rope; Alternate ring hitching – covering a ring in hitching can prevent damage; Anchor bend – attaching a rope to a ring or similar termination; Angler's loop – knot which forms a fixed loop.
As a midline loop knot made with a bight, it is related to several other similar knots, including the alpine butterfly knot and artillery loop. If pulled with one hand holding one end, the other hand holding the start side of the loop that is the continuation of the same end, [ clarification needed ] before tightening the knot of the loop, it ...

The main part, the end, and the two loop edges will enter the knot from the four corners of the knot when tied flat; If the ones that will carry the heaviest loads are placed at opposite corners the knot will hold better. The carrick loop is reliable, and easy to untie, but there are no advantages over other loops that are easier to tie. [2]
Tied in the bight, it is made similarly to a figure-of-eight loop but with an extra half-turn before finishing the knot. [ 1 ] Also similar to the stevedore loop , the figure-nine loop is generally shown as being based on an intermediate form between the figure-eight knot and the stevedore knot .
A figure-of-eight loop tied using the follow-through method. A figure-eight loop is created by doubling the rope into a bight, then tying the standard figure-eight knot.. In climbing, this knot is used to save time when repeatedly attaching the rope to climbing harnesses, using locking carabiners, such as when a group of people are climbing on the same top-rope.
Celtic button knots 4 steps; RB: two overhand loops, RT: third loop: over-under-over-under, LT: fourth loop: over-under-under-over, LB: tightened There are 4 main steps to tying the Celtic knot: two consecutive overhand loops, the last one placed partially over the first forming two petals of a four petal flower
