If a line is tangled, you most likely cannot undo it with one hand.
However, if is a knot that needs to be undone, many knots can be undone with one hand. If a knot is "slipped", which means it has an end that will release it, the slipped end is pulled. This is the way you untie shoelaces, which are tied with a double slipped square knot.
If the knot is not slipped, the next easy way to undo it is to "spill" the knot. Depending upon the type of knot, this usually requires two hands. To spill the knot, a section that looks like a loop is pushed or pulled in the direction away from the load which will either loosen the knot or release it.
If a knot cannot be spilled or slipped, it will require 2 hands and can be difficult, sometimes also requiring a tool.

How do you tie a knot without letting go?
This is an old camp fire riddle... to do it, fold your arms in front of your chest, hold one end of the rope in each hand, when you pull the rope will make an over hand knot. -------------- The fastest knot that can be tied without letting go is tied in the center of a rope, a Slip Knot. It is also one of very few knots that can be easily tied with one hand. Reach underneath the rope with right hand, raise hand and go to the right and over the now sagging part of the rope, reach back to the sagging part closest to you and grab it and pull it through the loop you created. This is a Slip Knot and can be made in less than a second with practice.
