1. Overhand Knot

The first knot I’ll be showing you is the Overhand Knot. I’m going to have a standing end and a working end. The first step to complete this Overhand knot is to make a loop then thread the working end over the loop then under the loop then tighten.

2. Underhand Knot

This is a Underhand knot very similar to the over knot that I taught you about, which is the Overhand knot. So the first step to make a Underhand knot is to make a loop then thread the working end under the loop then over the loop after tighten.

3. Figure of 8 Loop

z|So this is the third most easiest knot, which is called the Figure of 8 Loop. So the first step to make the Figure of 8 Loop is to get your working end and put it next to your standing end. Step 2 is to make a loop then thread it over then under your standing end and working end. Next thread it through the first loop you created and tighten.

This is the Figure of 8 Loop.

4. Square Knot

So this knot is a square knot. It involves a Overhand then a Underhand. This does not involve a standing end. Lets jump right into it so step one is to make an Overhand knot but do not tighten and then create a Underhand knot and now tighten.
