Fixed Loop knot

Also called open hand eye knot or binders knot

A simple loop knot made by tying an overhand knot in a bight. Useful when tying parcels with string or thin cord but not much else as the knot jams tight and will generally need to be cut off.

Form a long bight in the rope.

Turn the top to form a loop over the standing part.

Now pass the tip of the bight through the double loop from the back. Keep the adjacent cords parallel as you form the eye of the knot.

Work the knot tight, leaving an suitably sized eye loop.
