Slip knot
Use: A slip knot is one that will tighten under load, and which can be easily untied by pulling on the running end. This knot is typically a component of more complicated knots, and is generally not used by itself. How to tie: A slip knot can be tied by starting an overhand knot, but instead of passing the running end through the loop, pass a bight through instead.
