Lariat

Use: A lariat knot is the loop knot commonly used in a lasso. Its round shape, especially when tied in stiff rope, helps it slide freely along the rope it is tied around.

How to tie:


  1. Place an overhand knot in the end of the rope.
  2. Tie a second overhand knot, pass the rope end through it, and tighten.
