Fisherman's loop Spierenstich Schlaufe.jpg The fisherman's loop makes a non-slip loop at the end of a rope. This knot is the same as a fisherman's bend, except that instead of joining two ropes together, a single rope is doubled over and then joined to itself forming a loop. Another way to tie it is to make a slip knot and then use the running end to tie an overhand knot around the standing end.
