the loop

Then down through the loop again
7. Hitches
Temporary fastenings that untie readily
Half hitch

Two Half hitches
Just two half hitches (it’s that easy!)
Quite secure

Pass the end of the rope around the object
Tie an overhand knot to the standing part
Repeat once more above the first knot
8. Hitches (cont’d)
Temporary fastenings that untie readily
Clove hitch
The “general utility” hitch
Used to fasten a rope around a post or stake
Best used at the middle of a rope
How to Tie:
Make a turn with the rope around the object and over itself
Take a second turn around the object
Pull the end up under the second turn so it lies between the rope and
object
9. Bends
To tie two ropes together
Should be used on ropes of same size and texture
Sheet Bend
To join light and medium ropes
Unties easily
Does not injure rope fibers
Not best for heavier ropes
How to Tie:
Make an overhand loop with the end of one rope
Pass the end of the other rope through the loop
Pass that end up behind its standing part
And down through the loop again
10. Fisherman’s Knot
To tie two ropes together
Joins small rope, twine, and fishing line
