Rope Knot Question?

Question

I am looking for a rope knot that i can tie that has a loop that i can pull tight against whatever is inside the loop, but will not slip back the other direction. I need it to beable to slide to tightness, not just tie it tight.

Just a name of the knot will be fine. thanks

Answer 1

Hangman's noose would work.

Answer 2

Any hitch will satisfy your answer.

You will notice many of the answers gave you the name of a "knot" ending with the word "hitch"   A hitch is exactly what you described.  Unlike a knot, it works by tightening up around what ever it it passed around, as opposed to a knot that works by tightning against the rope itself.    Anything ending in "hitch" will function as you described, but different hitches are better suited for different applications.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure a buntline hitch will do the job for you

Here's a link that'll show you how to tie it:

Answer 4

what you are asking for is called a "rolling hitch"....an infinitely adjustable very well holding knot.......

Try a clove hitch with two half hiches to hold it in place.
