An easy-to-remember end loop that can be tied around or through an object. It appears more secure than a bowline in slippery rope. It's easier to tie than re-threading a figure-8 loop as required for an end loop and won't jam up like a figure-8 loop sometimes can.
When the knot is loose, you can adjust the loop size by working the standing part. When you're done adjusting the loop size, pull the leg of the loop belonging to the "lark's head" and the standing part to set firmly. The same procedure applies for the loop shown below.
