Seeking: Rope grab handles
By:Ian Cummins

I've seen bow and stern handles (toggles) tied from a piece of rope. They look like a larger loop wrapped with a series of small loops on top that resemble a hangmans' noose. The CLC site shows a double fishermans' knot for this purpose but it isn't the look I want and it doesn't seem like the correct knot for the purpose. I couldn't even tie one with a single length of rope......could be user error.

Can anyone tell me what it's called and where I could find some instructions?

Thanks,
Ian
