This is a stopper knot that is somewhat bulkier than Ashley’s Stopper Knot and is derived from it.\u00a0 Where Ashley’s shows a trefoil pattern when looking down the standing end, this knot has a four-fold pattern around the\u00a0 standing end.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Topologically the knot is a double overhand noose with a tuck back.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is easiest to tie without the tuck at first.\u00a0 Tighten up the double overhand knot around the standing end by eliminating the A segment.\u00a0 This will bring the B and C legs together with the standing end inside the loop.\u00a0 Snug this up enough that the standing end is no longer free to slide and none of the sub-loops are loose.\u00a0 The tighter this is made, the more secure the finished stopper.\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then, continuing in the same wrap direction around the B segment, tuck the working end through the loop as shown.\u00a0 Pull the standing end and the working end tight to create the four-fold pattern.\u00a0 In addition to being bulkier, if this knot comes loose there is a remaining overhand knot as a backup stopper.\u00a0 This last feature precludes it from being slipped, unlike Ashley’s Stopper Knot<\/p>\n
