Also known as the Oystermans stopper, the Ashley stopper knot is of an excellent bulky nature that allows it to serve the purpose of a stopper knot, that is, to prevent the end of a rope from unraveling, passing back through a hole, device or block and slipping through another knot.
To tie an Ashley Stopper Knot, start by making a long, wide bight close to the end of the rope. Next, fold the bight to form two loops, with the smaller of the two loops being closer to the working end and the larger next to the standing end.
