How to Tie a Triple Overhand Knot

Video Transcript

Now say you need a bigger bulkier knot, now the easiest way to do this once again is with our over knots but this time you can do a triple or even multiple overhand knot ties within this rope and it will make a nice big bulky knot that will not slip. So what we're going to do is we're going to take our length of rope that we have here and once again this will be my working end and this will be my standing end. Pull out a little bit extra. Make a nice big loop here. Loop it under once. This is our simple overhand knot. Loop it twice or double overhand and we'll loop it one more time and our triple. Now the more we tighten this you'll see that this knot will try to bind itself so if you have to work with it a little bit to keep it from becoming ugly because we'll want this knot to be very pretty. There you go, you'll see we have the triple loops and here for a big nice stopper knot. Now let's say we want to do this even more. This has infinite possibilities. We can go as many 8 to 10 times with this but for this purpose we'll go ahead and just do 5. So we'll do 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. As we pull this together it gets more and more difficult to pull. We'll just have to work it a little bit. We'll just work it till where it gets this nice barrel shape with this nice rope that goes around here, a nice secure knot that will not slip out.
