An open loop of rope. Sources differ on whether this is a bight. In knot tying, a bight is a curved section or slack part between the two ends of a rope, string, or yarn. [1] A knot that can be tied using only the bight of a rope, without access to the ends, is described as in the bight.
A bight is a slack part in the middle of a rope, usually a curve or loop. [1] [2] Knots that can be tied without access to either end of the rope are called knots in the bight. To tie a knot with a bight is to double up the rope into a bight and then tie the knot using the double rope.
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 ...
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.
Knot board [] on Elbe 1 (ship, 1965). A knot is an intentional complication in cordage [1] which may be practical or decorative, or both. Practical knots are classified by function, including hitches, bends, loop knots, and splices: a hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend fastens two ends of a rope to each another; a loop knot is any knot creating a loop; and splice denotes any multi ...

Karash double loop is a common name for a knot forming two loops. This knot has been a known variant of the Bowline on a bight per the International Guild of Knot Tyers, referred to as bowline twist or twisted collar bowline on a bight. The knot is also referred to as nœud de fusion in French references and sometimes called Fusion knot in English.
The bowline on a bight is a knot which makes a pair of fixed-size loops in the middle of a rope. Its advantage is that it is reasonably easy to untie after being exposed to load. It is one of the two tie-in knots that are being taught by the German Alpine Club (DAV), generally being considered secure. [1] [2] [3]
