Editing Knot (section)

===Difficulty===
The tying of a knot may be very straightforward (such as with an [[overhand knot]]), or it may be more complicated, such as a [[monkey's fist]] knot. Tying knots correctly requires an understanding of the type of material being tied (string, [[Rope|cord]], [[monofilament line]], [[kernmantle rope]], or nylon webbing). For example, cotton string may be very small and easy to tie with much internal friction to keep it from falling apart once tied, while stiff 5/8" thick kernmantle rope will be very difficult to tie, and may be so slick as to tend to come apart once tied.
