Figure 8

Animated Figure of Eight


 

  • Also known as the Flemish knot or Savoy knot
     
  • A useful "Stop" knot to temporarily bulk out the end of a rope or cord, the finished knot looks like its name. It is superior to using a Thumb Knot, because it does not jam so easily.
     
  • Tip: The Figure of Eight is useful to temporarily stop the ends of a rope fraying, before it is whipped
