Is this the knot you use

Slip Knot

The Slip Knot is one of the most frequently tied knots - being used in knitting as the first loop when casting on – where it is called a slip knot but frequently tied as a noose.

Yeah you just need a slipknot.

 

[merpmerp]

Yes

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

But there are many knots called the slipknot. Is that the right one?

 

[merpmerp]

Its a small loop version of it but yes that's the right type

Will this rope work?

 

[Ghost2211]

We can't tell you if anything has 100% work. you need to strength test it to be sure, and you should always strength test because there is a lot to lose if things go wrong.

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

How do you strength test it?

 

[Ghost2211]

Use your arm rather than your neck and put a decent amount of force in it. if it can take a good amount of force it's fine, but it's always better to break the material or what it's tied to than your brain.

I don't have anything to hang it to i.e. an anchor point, does that matter?

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

Bump

i'm not sure I'm following the question. You're asking if you can hang without anything to hang from? I don't feel super comfortable giving specifics here but there are guides on the site you can look at.

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

I mean for testing out if it's suitable or not

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

Bump

 

[Cakes]

I'm sure if it does, I imagine it would matter

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

I wish I could practice

 

[Cakes]

Is it partial you're going for?

 

[Lupgevif]

You can test just with your arms. But if you don't have anywhere to hang, chances are you won't manage just with your own strength.

Is this good?

 

[Nullm]

If you have a rope, use a noose knot
I cant believe it's not the default answer here

I will when I get out of hospital. While I'm still in, I want to practice.

does a slipknot work too?

 

[Nullm]

does a slipknot work too?

I think so

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

Great. I tried to make one and didn't understand what to do.

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

I guess I'm never ctbing

 

[hoping to lose hope]

I am paranoid this is pic related

 

[JustABunchOfAtoms]

What do you mean?

 

[Cleopatra123]

Can one just tie rope, or long bathrobe tie on a closet rod, and use the other end for a slipknot? What would be a reasonable diameter for rope, and any special type of rope better?
