The Figure Eight
The FIgure Eight Knot, I like to call it the twisted sister to the
Overhand Knot, is the basic stop knot. Use it to prevent the ends from
unraveling and to keep the line from running out of blocks and fair
leads. For a better stop knot see the Ashley Stop.

3. Put the end down through the loop.
