Usage: The Jar Sling Knot is a knot which can be used to create a handle for a glass or ceramic container with a slippery narrow neck, as long as the neck widens slightly near the top. The knot has also been used as an improvised hackamore or emergency bridle, with the two central overhand knot parts of the knot acting as a bit, one of the outer bights passing over the top of the animal’s muzzle, and the other passing under the jaw. The knot itself is pleasing to look at and can be used when a decorative loop is needed, ie as a lanyard.
