two loops in a noose?

(1/4) > >>

sinthome:
i am looking for a secure way to put two loops in a double overhand noose knot (scaffold/poacher's/barrel/etc)? assuming it is possible, can someone provide a link to a diagram or coach me through it? thanks!

knot4u:
At least 5 ways come to mind instantly if I don't limit myself to a double overhand.  The Double Ring Hitch (ABOK# 1126) is just one of many:



Using the same idea, think of all the double loop nooses you can tie on a sling.

I'm not clear on the functionality.  Are you merely looking for a double loop knot with communicating loops?  Does it have to have scaffold knot/noose geometry?  What's the planned application?  Do you want just one standing part?

sinthome:
I am trying to cinch one 5mm cord around the water knot in some 1" webbing so that it holds the webbing open and the water knot stays centered at the pull axis of the cord. I named the Double Overhand because that is usually my preferred sliding loop, due to its overall functionality (strength, untying, simplicity, no slipping). Hmmm.. I just tried the Double Ring Hitch and, while it is a good knot for a sling, I am looking to only pull from one end of the cord and not two. Any other ways to do it?

I will try the Double Ring Hitch if that is my best bet. Is it about as strong as a Girth Hitch?

There are a few hitches that could be tied with the cord that would keep the water knot centered.

A Sailor's Hitch can be tied so that half of the hitch is on the right side of the webbing knot, and the other half is on the left side of the webbing knot.

I'm not sure what you mean by "holding the webbing open".  As an aside, the double overhand knot will tend to jam in anything other but light strains.
