From the picture in this thread you can see what the knot will have to fit through.

So yes it is legal but people could run into problems if it is more than an inch wide.
That is the view of the lower end of the davit. No knots are allowed between the retaining feature and 29 inches down (below the bottom of the davit, I presume) to allow the rope to pass through the davit channel. There is more room up near the fingers for the retaining feature.
