Rope Knot Terminology

● Bight: Any part of a rope between the ends. Bight also is used to refer to a curved
section of a rope within a knot being tied.
● Crossing Point: The place where ropes cross in the making of a loop.
● Elbow: Two or more loops in close proximity to each other.
● Loop: A bight becomes a loop when the two ropes cross. If the working end is crossed
over the standing line, it is an overhand loop. It is an underhand loop if the working end
runs under the standing part.
● Working End: The active end being used to tie the knot.
● Standing End: The end not being use in the tying of the knot. The rope part that is not
being used is called the Standing Part.

There are four primary knot categories: Loops (make a loop in the rope), Bends (rope to
rope knots), Hitches (rope to object knots) and Binding Knots.
