How to Tie a Granny Knot: A Step-by-Step Guide

GrannyKnot is a type of knot that is commonly used in sailing and other maritime applications. It is a type of stopper knot, which is used to prevent the line from running out of the cleat or block when the line is under tension.

The name "granny" is likely derived from the fact that the knot is often used by grandmothers (or "grannies") to secure their sailboats. The "knot" part of the name refers to the fact that the knot is tied in the line to create a stopper.

GrannyKnots are typically tied in the end of a line, and they can be used to prevent the line from running out of the cleat or block when the line is under tension. They are also sometimes used as a temporary fix for a broken line, as they can help to keep the line from running out of the cleat or block until a more permanent repair can be made.
