What knot is this?

Thanks raiffnuke, I want to form the loop for a larks head for the bunched end of a hammock.

Yes, that will work just fine. You might want to make triple overhand knots for the fisherman's knot, but you should be just fine with a double. I have used this for the same thing with no issues at all. Your other option is to slice a continuous loop. They are cleaner looking, but not needed. My 2cents.
