Loop Knots come in two classes: Fixed Loops and Running Loops (Slip Knots). A fixed loop is a loop that does not close (get smaller) under strain. A running loop is one that can be adjusted — either smaller or larger and will close (get smaller) under strain.

Fixed Loops:

• Bowline
• Figure Eight Loop
• Fisherman’s Eye
• Loop Knot
• Perfection Loop
• Surgeon’s Loop

Running Loops:

• Lariat Loop
• Running Bowline
• Running Knot / Slip Knot
