Bight (knot)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In knot tying, a bight is a curved section or slack part between the two ends of a rope, string, or yarn.[1] A knot that can be tied using only the bight of a rope, without access to the ends, is described as in the bight. The term "bight" is also used in a more specific way when describing Turk's head knots, indicating how many repetitions of braiding are made in the circuit of a given knot.[2]
