Also known as the flemish knot, this basic knot has a variety of uses. Tied at rope's end, the figure eight acts as a stopper, preventing the rope from slipping through a grommet. The overhand knot could be used, but the figure eight is easier to untie. Tied in the middle of the rope, the figure eight can be used as a slip knot
- Double the rope over, then form a loop
- Take the doubled over free end and pass it through the loop you just formed. Cinch the knot tight.
