Lariat
Use: A lariat knot is the loop knot commonly used in a lasso. Its round shape, especially when tied in stiff rope, helps it slide freely along the rope it is tied around. How to tie: Place an overhand knot in the end of the rope. Tie a second overhand knot, pass the rope end through it, and tighten.
