Button Knot
A button knot is a knot that forms a bulge of thread. Button knots are essentially stopper knots, but may be esthetically pleasing enough to be used as a button on clothes. There are many methods for tying button knots, such as the Chinese button knot, the Celtic button knot and the monkey fist. ''The Ashley Book of Knots'' contains over a hundred examples.

Fiador Knot
The fiador knot (also Theodore knot) is a decorative, symmetrical knot used in equine applications to create items such as rope halters, hobbles, and components of the '' fiador'' on some hackamore designs. As traditionally described, it is a four strand diamond knot in which six of the eight ends loop back into the knot, thus allowing it to be tied with a single line. While a specific knot is discussed in this article, the fiador knot has also been treated as an entire class of multi-strand knots similarly made with a single line. Etymology The origin of the variant name "Theodore knot", used in the United States, is a corruption of the Spanish ''fiador''. American cowboys likewise corrupted a number of other closely related terms, substituting "hackamore" for ''jaquima'' and "McCarty" for '' mecate''.

Overhand Knot
The overhand knot is one of the most fundamental knots, and it forms the basis of many others, including the simple noose, overhand loop, angler's loop, reef knot, fisherman's knot, Half hitch, and water knot. The overhand knot is a stopper, especially when used alone, and hence it is very secure, to the point of jamming badly. It should be used if the knot is intended to be permanent. It is often used to prevent the end of a rope from unraveling. An overhand knot becomes a trefoil knot, a true knot in the mathematical sense, by joining the ends. It can also be adjusted, faired, or mis-tied as a half hitch Tying There are a number of ways to tie the Overhand knot. * Thumb method – create a loop and push the working end through the loop with your thumb. * Overhand method – create a bight, by twisting the hand over at the wrist and sticking your hand in the hole, pinch the working end with your fingers and pull through the loop.
