The double overhand knot is a knot with various uses. As a stopper knot , it is stronger than the simple overhand knot . It is used by sailors when there is more load on the end of the rope. Tied into the ends of laces and lines, this knot prevents fraying. But it can also be used for thin yarns to prevent slipping through the fabric. As a tie knot, it is used to tie objects together and, for example, it is looped around the opening of a sack. As a tying knot it is called a lace knot or choke knot ( ABoK # 1239) and has a different tying technique. For the name blood knot, see section "Name and History" .
