A '''span loop''' is a non-jamming [[loop (knot)|loop]] that can be tied away from the ends of the [[rope]].

==Information==
The span loop is known for being extremely easy to untie. The beginning of tying this knot begins with tying a Half Sheepshank, which is also known as a Bell Ringer's Knot. In order to tie this, the same one-handed twist method employed for tying a [[bowline]] can be used. One bight or loop will poke up through the half-hitch, and it will perfectly match the end of the rope that is also poking up through the signature half-hitch part of a bowline as it is done with the one hand twist method. The next thing to do is to push the bottom loop back up and through the top loop.  <ref name=KnotIndex>{{cite web|title=Span Loop|url=https://knots.neocities.org/spanloop|publisher=Notable Knot Index|access-date=12 January 2013}}</ref>
