How to Make a Loop Knot
A loop knot is often referred to as an Angler's loop because fishermen use it to tie knots in their lines. The knot creates a fixed loop that doesn't release easily. Any material holds a loop knot. Its one of the few knots that holds well in a bungee cord, so it is good for climbing as well. Creating a loop knot is simple, and learning it is a useful skill that may be used in a variety of situations.
