This version of the overhand knot is stronger with lower-creep, yet easily-untied. This knot is perfect for securing everything from guylines to climbing harnesses.
Put a bight(A doubled-over bending of the cord, where many double-line (mid-rope) knots are tied) in a mid-portion of the rope.
Twist a loop into the bight.
Continue twisting another half turn, as shown.
Insert the bight through the loop originally created with the first twist. Note the distinctive “figure eight” pattern.
Tighten and neaten the knot, removing excess kinks and laying the cords parallel throughout.
