The slip knot is handy because, as it's name suggests, you can slide it up to adjust the size of the loop. You might use it to sling a horn ("chicken head") of rock for example. Follow these steps to tie a slip knot using a sling:

Step 1: Form a loop in the sling. Step 2: Feed a second loop through the first. Step 3: Work the knot tight and upwards as required until its snug against the thing you are tying off.
