caption_attribution_description: English: The image reproduces the drawing shown in "The Alternative Knot Book" by Harry Asher. As noted by the author, at the intersection (black arrow in image) the working part passes UNDER the standing part. This creates a more secure bend compared to the SS Over.
context_page_description: The simple Simon under bend is a knot belonging to the category bend. It was invented by Harry Asher. It is more secure than the similar simple Simon over. The difference is just which of the green ends in the image below is the standing end.
  The simple Simon under holds well even with different sized ropes, or slippery synthetic ropes.
