The halter hitch is topologically the same knot as the Falconer's knot, i. e. a slipped overhand knot around the main part. [3] The falconer has to tie the same knot one handed, throwing the end around the anchor object (the perch), gripping it with a scissoring fingers act, pulling the bight from opposite side of the main part using the back of the thumb.
The double harness bend is an unfinished Fisherman's knot (or even a Double fisherman's knot): the end needs to go through its own half hitch (twice) to form a (double) overhand knot. The double harness bend is an unfinished Blood knot: The half hitches need to take one or several turns around both ropes before going through the eye in the middle.

Tie an overhand knot at the end of a rope but do not tighten the knot down. Pass the end of the line through the loop created by the first overhand knot. Tighten the knot down while sliding it into place at the end of the line. Be sure to leave some tail sticking out from the end of the knot. [7] [8]
The falconer's knot is a knot used in falconry to tether a bird of prey to a perch. Some sources show this knot to be identical to the halter hitch , [ 1 ] but with a specific method of single-handed tying needed when the other hand is occupied holding the bird.
On knotted rope halters, the knot often is used under the jaw both as a decorative knot, and also to fashion the lower loop onto which a lead rope is attached. On a rope halter, the fiador knot is made from one continuous piece of rope, and is, along with a series of double overhand knots, one of two types of knots that comprise most rope halters.
The control rope (the rope not going to the load) is tied to the load rope with a mule knot (aka halter hitch) – not a noose (slipped overhand)! – and the bight (loop) that sticks out is tied in an overhand around the load rope. A carabiner is then sometimes clipped through the end of the bight and around the load rope.
A stopper knot, while serving to keep the loose end tidy, will only help to prevent failure of the primary knot, and does not act as a secondary safety knot by itself. It is sometimes said that if enough of a tail is left to tie a stopper knot, the stopper becomes unnecessary.
