Knotting Knots | How to Tie the Oysterman's Stopper Knot - AKA Ashley's Stopper Knot @KnottingKnots | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
If you are looking for an easy to tie bulky stopper knot for the end of a line, then the Oysterman's Stopper knot should suit that purpose. Not only is it a good end of line stopper knot, but it is also a nice symmetrical knot, perhaps a decorative knot on the end of a lanyard. It is probably one of the easiest stopper knots to tie. It is also less prone to shake loose compared to the figure of eight knot.
This particular knot is listed in Ashley's Book of Knots as knot number 526, it also goes onto mention how this knot was discovered in Chapter 1 Page 7.
