If you subtract a few coils from the knot in the images and roll the stopper knot as if were being loaded, it would seem to be just an overhand, double overhand, or triple overhand knot, depending on how many coils or wraps are subtracted.
If ... it would seem to be just an overhand, double overhand, or triple overhand knot, depending on how many coils or wraps are subtracted.Of course: as noted above, it can be tied by a dressing of the Anchor hitch.
(It’s giving me some ideas!)
You can see a diagram of Scott’s stopper on Dan_Lehman method by clicking here

This structural diagram can be used in making a litlle “genetic engineering” using a transposition : End become 'Spart and 'Spart become End : just use the diagram in reverse by clicking here
Of course these identical Structures give TWO different geometry outcome therefore 2 different knots from the point of view of the everyday 3D world. (Structure = the ordely arrangement in sequence of the crossings H&L and nothing else).

In the “Original” one 'Spart is perpendicular to the thickness of the “coils serie” in the “Reverse” it is in "alignment with it.
So they will not “function” the same , Hey Dan_Lehman!
The “original” give you a “T” handle" and the "reverse a “I” handle ( 'Spart being the reference )
Nevertheless if it is only a thick stopper you want the “reverse” is IMO much more easy to dress as it comes almost dressed from its laying.
you guyes got it.I have seen a knot simmelur to this but it was in line.even a loop.the loop looked like a hangmans noos but the working end adjusted the loop not the standing end.but I cant remember the name.
OK I’ll try again.lol. the other knot that I cant remember the name of.
start with standing end in left hand and standing end to the left.bitter end running from left to right.now wrap line in coils back over itself moving back to the left.
make as many coiles as you please,about 4 to 7.now feed bitter end down through the coils along the standing part and out the other end of the knot to the right.and dress.when finnished it will look like a line with coiles then the line just comes out the other end.If making the loop,just push a loop through insted of pushing the line end through.I have learnd my knots from the internet.and if I didnt bookmark the page then most time I have lost it.there are two other knots that I have seen on knot pages that the auther did not know the name of.both were loops.maybe nex time.
arrowhead whittler
is this a named knot?start with line running from rt. to left.grasp line with left hand about 6 inches from end,wrap standing end around left thumb 3 or 4 times, like you would the Steve Dover knot,now take the end in your left hand and wrap it around to the right side and tuck it into and through all the wraps and out the other end.dress and set.I'm new at this knot thing and I dont have ant books to help me name this knot.but I get to name it first !Words can work but you need good words. "running from rt. to left." means the (bitter) end is on the left, SPart rightwards?
“wrap standing end around left thumb”
Is the wrapping to be of the (indefinitely long–maybe attached to a pole, say) SPart,
and around both thumb AND END, wrapping LEFTwards.
“Steve Dover” = “Stevedore”
In the Stevedore stopper, the SPart u-turns and now as end wraps around itself.
Above, is the SPart to wrap back around thumb and end similarly? (Though
leaving the SPart ultimately still leading rightwards, after final turn/wrap.)
“now take the end in your left hand”
Well, the end has always been in my left hand, just as I did the wrapping with
the SPart, no?
“around the right side” = “around the SPart (indefinitely long end)” ?
“dress & set”: Ha! There are questions needing clearing up before we can guess
what it is that we might care to dress. This is yet unsettled.
