This knot is an analogue of the "eight". It is designed to create a thickening on the cable. According to some sources, the stevedoring knot was invented in ancient Britain, and according to others - in Portugal and Holland.
The name "Stevedore knot" first appeared in the explanatory dictionary of the English language in 1890. The compilers of the dictionary borrowed it from the manual on knitting knots, which was released by the cable company "Stevedore Ropes".
