How do you make a half granny knot?
The Granny Knot, also known as a Thief's Knot, results from a second step after making an Overhand Knot. The Granny Knot is simply the improper completion of what would otherwise be a Square Knot. The first half of this is properly referred to as an Overhand Knot, but is also called a Thumb Knot and a Common Knot. So, what you have really asked is how to make an Overhand Knot. This is formed by taking one free end of a line and going once around the same line (often at the other end of the line) and pulling taut. This is the first action done with a shoelace when tying shoes. This knot is not properly called a half granny knot, but should be called an Overhand Knot.
