Half knot tied with a single piece of rope around another rope, instead of a half hitch.

Avoid

A binding knot tied by threading, that is very rarely used on its own when tied from two separate ropes, but may be used as part of a reef knot. Sometimes used on its own when tied with a single piece of rope, either used by mistake instead of a stopper knot, or as a half hitch that is not dressed the way it is supposed to be. Made from an overhand knot that is tied with two ropes, or two ends of the same rope.
