The Overhand Knot is the knot that most everyone thinks of
when you say "Tie a knot." Very simple and yet also decorative
if done with the right materials or in the right
combination.
The single overhand knot is also known as
the simple knot, the thumb
knot, the half knot and much less
commonly as the underhand knot.
The double overhand is sometimes called the
blood knot, the barrel knot,
or the grinner knot. The triple
overhand is also called the Franciscan *
knot, after an order of Italian friars
who would tie multiple overhand knots on the ends of their
rope belts.
A multiple overhand knot is also often
simply called a long knot. In addition to
being decorative, the long knot serves as the unit knot in the
ancient Incan khipu or quipu record keeping system.
