In Response To: Seeking: Rope grab handles (Ian Cummins)

: I've seen bow and stern handles (toggles) tied from a piece of
: rope. They look like a larger loop wrapped with a series of
: small loops on top that resemble a hangmans' noose. The CLC site
: shows a double fishermans' knot for this purpose but it isn't
: the look I want and it doesn't seem like the correct knot for
: the purpose. I couldn't even tie one with a single length of
: rope......could be user error.

: Can anyone tell me what it's called and where I could find some
: instructions?

: Thanks,
: Ian

I don't know the name of the knot but you would probably find it here www.animatedknots.com
