If this continues far enough, the working end passes into the knot and the knot unravels and fails.

If the loop is made backwards so that the bitter end is on the bottom, the resulting knot will be sideways.

If the two loose ends of an overhand knot are joined together ( without creating additional crossings ), this becomes equivalent to the trefoil knot of mathematical knot theory.

If a flat ribbon or strip is tightly folded into a flattened overhand knot, it assumes a regular pentagonal shape.

If a stronger and even more secure knot is required an extra riding turn can be added to the basic knot to form a double constrictor knot.

If the ends are long enough, one can sometimes untie it by pulling one end generally parallel to the bound object and a bit up away from it, and prying it into the opposite end's part to open the knot.

If the ends have been trimmed short, or the knot is otherwise hopelessly jammed, it can be easily released by cutting the riding turn with a sharp knife.

If binding around a not fully convex, or square-edged object, arrange the knot so the overhand knot portion is stretched across a convex portion, or a corner, with the riding turn squarely on top of it.

If the constricted object ( such as a temporarily whipped rope ) ends very close to where a constrictor binds it, a boa knot may prove a more stable solution.

( If this knot is unravelled, the strip is made with eight half-twists in addition to an overhand knot.

If the sides of the flattened loop are pulled away from each other, the flattened loop ends pull out of the half hitches and the knot falls apart, but if the free ends

If another sailor went through the bag, the odds were high the thief would tie the bag back using the more common reef knot, revealing the tampering, hence the name.

If the working end is loaded rather than the standing part, the knot will capsize into an overhand noose.

If the loop has to be made around a post or through a ring, and only one end of the rope is available, the follow-through ( also known as the re-threaded ) method is used by tying a loose figure eight knot in the rope, then putting the working end around the object.

If the manifold is non-compact, then the fundamental group cannot distinguish the two geometries, and there are examples ( such as the complement of a trefoil knot ) where a manifold may have a finite volume geometric structure of either type.

If the knot slips when load is placed on the hanging loop, re-tie around the climbing rope another time or two, until there is no slippage.
